Personal profile
Biography
Prof. Dalton carried out his BSc and PhD in ZoologyParasitology at University College Dublin, Ireland. Over the last 35 years he has researched in the USA (Johns Hopkins School of Medicine and National Institutes for Allergies and Infectious Diseases), Australia (Queensland Institute for Medical Research and University of Technology, Sydney), Canada (McGill University) and Northern Ireland (Queens University). His goal to understand the fundamental biology of parasites and their relationship with their hosts, animal and human. With this knowledge he is designing strategies to diagnose parasitic infections and to develop new treatments against some of mans greatest scourges.
