 Sander Koenraadt WUR


Sander Koenraadt
is Associate Professor at the Laboratory of Entomology where he leads the One Health Entomology group. The aim of his group is to understand the factors that determine the presence and emergence of vector-borne diseases and to unravel the underlying mechanisms from molecular to ecosystem level. With this knowledge, the group ultimately aims to design novel strategies for vector control that are affordable, safe for human use, and sustainable in the context of our changing environment. www.onehealthentomologygroup.nl
