Research
Diverse, pioneering research spanning molecules to populations.
Entomology research uses a wide variety of approaches and methodologies, all with the goal of finding answers to fundamental and applied biological questions. Penn State offers exceptional opportunities for interdisciplinary research in ecology, plant physiology, genetics, and other life sciences.
Researchers strive to mimic nature’s flavors and fragrances, medicines, and toxins, and learn how to put them to use for a healthier life and cleaner environment.
Researchers focus on infectious diseases, malaria, insect pathology, and insect immunity.
Research spans the theoretical to the applied and includes extensive use of modeling to forecast pests and diseases in space and time.
We are committed to developing and implementing integrative, multidisciplinary approaches to improving pollinator health, conservation, and ecosystem management.
Centers represent collaborations among students and faculty working to solve real-world problems with partners in academia from across the University, the nation, and the world.
Our research projects focus on many diverse topics ranging from the critical honey bee issue (colony collapse disorder) to cutting-edge malaria research.
Many faculty maintain labs highlighting their research programs. Well-equipped labs and state-of-the-art equipment support a broad range of study.
