Genetics and Physiology

This research hits at the fundamentals of insect and arthropod biology; from the code of life to how they make their way in the world.

Genomics and Evolutionary Biology

Using bioinformatics to make sense of large datasets can yield insights into arthropod diversity, evolution, and function. We use modern tools to examine genomes, transcriptomes, and more.

Molecular Biology and Physiology

Research on how arthropods function ranges from the cellular to organismal level. Our projects aim to characterize arthropod survival, insecticide resistance, pathogen-vector interactions, and more.

Toxicology and Novel Products

Insecticides and acaricides protect our crops, livestock, and families. We research new compounds that are effective and safer for the environment. We also work on preventing and overcoming insecticide resistance in pest populations. Our work also features novel products such as insecticidal nanoparticles.
