Felix Hol is an assistant professor at Radboud University Medical Center, investigating mosquito behavior — from what they taste on our skin to why they now bite earlier in the day. By turning these insights into simple, open-source tools, he helps communities prevent harmful diseases.
Biophysically inclined mosquito enthusiast trying to understand why mosquitoes are so unbelievably good at transmitting pathogens (and devising ways to stop them). Laboratory based in the Netherlands, expanding fieldwork in Africa (Uganda, Kenya). Currently at Radboud University Medical Center, previously at Institut Pasteur (Paris), Stanford, Harvard, and TU Delft. Loves to build experimental systems that make unseen biology visible.
