Background

About Graham Small

More than 40 years experience in entomological research including laboratory and field studies on mosquito vectors of disease. Extensive knowledge and hands-on experience of insecticide resistance research, insecticide discovery and pest control product efficacy testing. My special interest is in the monitoring and management of insecticide resistance in mosquitoes and in the development of new vector control products to facilitate the implementation of insecticide resistance management and integrated management strategies. I am also passionate about working with organizations to help strengthen their capacity for mosquito vector control research. Following my PhD at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine and postdoctoral research at Cardiff University, I took the sideways step into industry becoming Technical Director at a CRO conducting product testing for the pest control industry. I then established my own consultancy, the Insect Control Technical Consultancy, before joining IVCC (the Innovative Vector Control Consortium). I am a Fellow of the Royal Entomological Society, London, a Member of the UK Research Quality Association, a Member of Butterfly Conservation and a Member of Lancashire Wildlife Trust. Specialties: Efficacy testing of insecticides and vector control products. Insecticide resistance monitoring and management. Development and implementation of quality management systems compliant with the principles of Good Laboratory Practice. Research capacity strengthening.
