Research Areas

Chemical Ecology

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.

Disease Biology and Ecology

Researchers focus on infectious diseases, malaria, insect pathology, and insect immunity.

Ecological Applications

Research spans the theoretical to the applied and includes extensive use of modeling to forecast pests and diseases in space and time.

Pollinator Biology, Health and Ecology

We are committed to developing and implementing integrative, multidisciplinary approaches to improving pollinator health, conservation, and ecosystem management.
