His research focuses on evolution, cell biology, symbiosis, parasitism, and host-parasite/symbiont interactions. He investigates subcellular organisations, molecular complexities, endosymbiotic partnerships, and genomes of diverse protists. His work employs techniques such as proteomics, experimental cell biology, microscopy, bioinformatics, and genomics/transcriptomics. Waller's research areas include oceanography and collaboration with various research themes.


Scholar profile summary
Scholar-generated biography

Ross F Waller is a researcher at the University of Cambridge with expertise in Cell Biology, Evolution, Organelles, Symbiosis, and Parasitology. His work focuses on understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying organelle evolution, particularly in parasites such as Plasmodium falciparum and Toxoplasma gondii. He investigates protein trafficking to plastids, the role of symbiosis in evolutionary transitions, and the functional significance of organelles in parasitic organisms. His research also explores the genetic and molecular basis of parasitic adaptations, including the evolution of dinoflagellates and the development of genetic tools for studying marine protists.
