We are interested in studying the physiological processes of insects at the molecular level and use this information for the welfare of human beings. Our research program covers a wide variety of subject areas such as insect physiology, biochemistry, molecular biology, endocrinology, toxicology, biological control, pest management etc. The current areas of our focus include
1. Functional genomics and proteomics
2. Developmental and hormonal regulation of gene expression
3. Gene switches
