Training originally as a zoologist at Michigan State University (BSc) and veterinary nurse (NC, USA), Pegine developed research interests in pathology, molecular biology, and developmental genetics during her PhD working on flies and yeast at Stony Brook University, NY. Pegine shifted fields to molecular parasitology when she secured a Wellcome Trust-funded Post Doctoral position examining developmental regulators of the Trypanosoma brucei lifecycle at the University of Edinburgh. She is currently developing her independent research career in Leishmania spp. parasitology at the University of York and was recently awarded a prestigious New Investigator Research Grant by the MRC to pursue trans-regulators of Leishmania spp. differentiation to human-infectious forms.
