The Molecular Vector Physiology Laboratory at New Mexico State University - In the twelve years since its inception, the undergraduate, graduate, and post-graduate researchers in the Molecular Vector Physiology Laboratory at New Mexico State University have conducted basic and applied research projects resulting in major contributions in the field of molecular and cellular physiology. The laboratory team will continue to educate students and perform research to increase our knowledge of the molecular physiology of mosquitos and other blood-sucking arthropod disease vectors. Our research will focus on these areas: • Nutrient signaling pathways and nutrient transport in the mosquito reproduction model system. • Regulation of water homeostasis and transport in mosquitos. • Olfactory physiology of blood-sucking arthropod disease vectors. • Development of novel methods of mosquito control. Our research has the potential to improve the health and lives of people around the globe by laying part of the foundation for the implementation of novel, ‘green’ strategies for the control of mosquito populations and the diseases they transmit.
