Brief Statement of Research Interest
My area of interest is molecular entomology. Currently we are seeking to understand how to protect pollinators from the pesticides and other toxins they encounter. I am also interested in understanding pesticide toxicity in other pollinating insects as well. Currently I have done research on structure-activity relationships of venom enzymes/toxins; anti-venoms; venom proteomics; and pharmacological applications of insects venoms.
