Prof Jo Cable

During my first degree in Biological Sciences at Westfield College, University of London, I combined my innate love of aquatic ecology with parasitology. My Ph.D. research at Queen Mary College, University of London, focused on the ecological adaptations of monogenean parasites, and thereafter I couldn’t shake off the parasite bug! I moved to Cardiff in 1999 to work on a range of projects concerned with host-parasite interactions, particularly interested in the factors that drive parasite transmission. I have held Leverhulme, University and Natural Environment Research Council Advanced Fellowships, followed by Reader (2008) and Chair (2014) positions at Cardiff University.
