Andrew Pike

My name is Andrew Pike, though most people just call me Pike, and I’m currently a graduate student in the Molecular Microbiology and Immunology department at the Johns Hopkins School of Public Health.
I joined the Dimopoulos Group in July 2011 and my main project
focuses on the fitness impact of transgenesis in Anopheles
gambiae.

Bio:
 After receiving a BA from Oberlin College, I attended Michigan State University, where I got a Master’s degree in entomology while working with Dr. Zhiyong Xi (a prior Dimopoulos Group member) on the interactions between dengue virus, Wolbachia and Aedes aegypti mosquitoes. I have only recently joined the Dimopoulos Group, and look forward to continuing my research with them as I work toward my PhD. My main project is focusing on how transient over-expression of anti-Plasmodium immune factors in genetically modified mosquitoes will affect the insect's fitness. I am also collaborating with other lab members on the study of the Anopheles infection-responsive proteome and metabolome. Publications Guo X, Xu Y, Bian G, Pike A, Xie Y, Xi Z.
