Biography
Dr Jasmine Morgan started her career in scientific research with a BSc in Biology from Liverpool Hope University. Jasmine then went on to complete a PhD in 2022 at Edge Hill University, which focussed on major dengue vector Aedes aegypti. Following her doctorate, Jasmine became Senior Electron Microscopy Technician, establishing and running the Edge Hill JEOL Imaging Centre.
Jasmine joined LSTM in June 2025 as Technical Project Manager, supporting the work of the Functional Genetics group led by Professor Tony Nolan.
Research interests
Dr Jasmine Morgan has broad research interests across vector biology. Her current projects cover development of genetic control tools, including gene drive, and functional genetics of major malaria vectors.
Jasmine also has interest in arborviruses and their vectors as well as development of tools for improved mosquito surviellance and control.
Teaching
Dr Jasmine Morgan has experience supervising research students at LSTM and in her previous role at EHU. Jasmine has contributed to numerous undergraduate modules, including the development and leadership of new modules. In her current role Jasmine supports supervision of research students (MRes, MSc, PhD) in the Functional Genetics group.
