Maud Mutsaers is a PhD student at Umeå University, focusing her research on vector competence in mosquitoes and the transmission of mosquito-borne diseases. With an academic background that began in Australia, she earned an associate degree in Microbiology and Immunology before moving to the Netherlands to complete her Bachelor of Biomedical Science at the University of Maastricht. Maud is currently pursuing her master's degree at Umeå University, where her thesis investigates the vector competence of Swedish mosquitoes, specifically in relation to Usutu virus. As part of her doctoral research in Olivia Wesula Lwande's lab, she is delving deeper into the interactions between mosquito species and pathogens. Her work aims to uncover critical insights into the molecular interactions that facilitate the spread of diseases such as the O’nyong-nyong virus and dengue virus, building on her previous studies and contributing to the field of vector-borne disease research.
