Dimopoulos Group is a molecular biology / functional genomics research group at Johns Hopkins University - Bloomberg School of Public Health, that studies the innate immune system of insect vectors of disease. We are particularly interested in the Anopheles mosquito that transmit malaria, and the Aedes mosquito that transmit dengue.
On this blog you can read about various unofficial happenings in the group. On our official site you can read about our research activities:

The Dimopoulos Group is part of the Johns Hopkins Malaria Research Institute and the Department of Molecular Microbiology and Immunology at the Johns Hopkins School of Public Health.The Dimopoulos Group was established in 2001 at Imperial College London. Our ongoing and future research program broadly focuses on the innate immune systems of mosquito disease vectors, and comprises several independent but synergistically interacting projects. We are interested in understanding the role and mechanisms of the mosquito’s innate immune system in the defense against human pathogens such as Plasmodium and the Dengue virus.
