Vector mosquito biology, malaria transmission, and vector/pathogen interactions. Novel interventions for malaria elimination.
Basic and translational research to engineer bacteria to understand and develop new treatments for neurological diseases via the gut-brain axis..
High throughput genetics to better understand evolution of fungal pathogens and drive antifungal drug discovery.
Dr Peach’s research interests are in the field of vector ecology, with a focus on behavioral and sensory ecology. He is primarily focused on how arthropod vectors, such as mosquitoes, find and interact with resources such as the hosts they bite, the flowers they nectar-feed from (and pollinate) or the breeding sites they use, and the implications of this information for mosquito management and pathogen transmission as well as understanding species and disease distributions..
Deciphering the mechanisms of host immune system manipulation by human eukaryotic pathogen – Toxoplasma gondii.
All facets of host-parasite interactions during malaria, ranging from molecular pathogenesis to malaria immunology to transmission
Immunopathogenesis of intracellular pathogens (HIV and Mycobacterium tuberculosis); non-infectious morbidities in People Living With HIV
Ecology, epidemiology and evolution of infectious RNA viruses (Influenza A virus, avian paramyxovirus,
RSV, MERS-CoV) in animals and humans
