Biography

Noah Rose is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Research at the University of California, San Diego. His research focuses on mosquitoes, the deadliest animals on Earth, exploring their adaptations and specialization in biting humans. Rose employs a combination of population genomics and field ecology, along with behavioral, physiological, and developmental studies in a controlled laboratory setting. His work investigates how mosquitoes thrive in the human niche and how this adaptation influences the spread of human diseases. His research spans multiple timescales, examining both the evolutionary responses of mosquitoes over millennia and their rapid adaptations to growing urban environments today. He also addresses ecological and evolutionary shifts occurring on short timescales, such as global invasions and microhabitat ecology. Rose completed his Ph.D. at Stanford University as an NSF Graduate Research Fellow and was a Helen Hay Whitney Postdoctoral Fellow in the group of Lindy McBride at Princeton University before joining the faculty at UCSD in 2023.
