Andrea Crisanti[edit]

Andrea Crisanti, PhD (born 1954) is an Italian Professor of Molecular Parasitology at Imperial College London where he is best known for the development of genetically manipulated mosquitoes with the objective to interfere with either their reproductive rate or the capability to transmit diseases such as Malaria.

Education and career[edit]

Prof. Crisanti earned his bachelor's degree in Italy at Sapienza University of Rome. At the Basel Institute for Immunology, while studying for his PhD, Crisanti discovered the IL2 receptor of immature thymocytes. Crisanti served as a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Center for Molecular Biology (ZMBH) at the University of Heidelberg. In 1994, Crisanti became a lecturer at Imperial College, before being appointed Professor in 2000. Since his tenure at Imperial, he has also served as a visiting Professor at the University of Perugia.

At Imperial College London Prof. Crisanti has been developing methods and technologies to study the genetics and the reproductive biology of the human malaria vector Anopheles gambiae. Crisanti's work exploits the biological property of a class of selfish genetic elements (homing endonuclease) to develop a gene transfer technology. Using such technology, Prof. Crisanti has developed genetically manipulated sterile male mosquitoes. The success of which means that starting with the release of just a few genetically modified mosquitoes via natural breeding can effectively spread to large field mosquito populations, reducing malaria-spreading mosquito numbers in the wild and ultimately decreasing malaria incidence.[1][2]

In 2011, Prof. Crisanti was appointed Editor-in-Chief of medical journal Annals of Tropical Medicine and Parasitology, which in 2012 under Crisanti's leadership became Pathogens and Global Health, reflecting the journal's newly-formed broader focus. Prof. Crisanti is a member of the scientific board of the Centre of Functional Genomics at the University of Perugia. He is a Chairman of the Scientific panel of the EU Marie Curie Programme, I-Move, and has advised on issues concerning the safety of genetically modified insects for the Consilium Pontificium of the Vatican City and the European Food Safety Authority.
