Silvie Huijben, PhD, Associate Professor (she/her/hers)

Associate Professor
Arizona State University, Arizona, United States

Silvie Huijben is an evolutionary biologist fascinated by the ongoing arms race between humans and the organisms we seek to control. Her research focuses on the evolution of drug resistance in malaria parasites and insecticide resistance in mosquitoes. By studying the evolutionary ecology of these organisms, she aims to answer a key question: How can we design better resistance management strategies? Dr. Huijben earned her PhD in evolutionary biology and infectious diseases from the University of Edinburgh (UK) in 2010. During her doctoral studies, she also conducted research at the Center for Infectious Disease Dynamics (CIDD) at Pennsylvania State University (USA) under the supervision of Dr. Andrew Read. She continued at CIDD as a postdoctoral researcher before receiving both a Science in Society – Branco Weiss Fellowship and a Marie Curie Incoming International Fellowship, which supported her postdoctoral work at the Barcelona Institute for Global Health (ISGlobal, Spain) in 2013. In 2018, Dr. Huijben joined the Center for Evolution and Medicine at Arizona State University as an Assistant Professor. In 2021, she was awarded an NSF CAREER Award to investigate the selective forces shaping insecticide resistance in mosquitoes. She is currently an Associate Professor at Arizona State University.
