Research
Research questions, systems, and approaches.
My research examines how insect herbivores acquire and use essential dietary molecules, with particular emphasis on sterol nutrition and metabolism.
Research themes
- Nutritional physiology of insect herbivores
- Sterol uptake, metabolism, and homeostasis
- Molecular mechanisms of plant-herbivore interactions
- Functional genetics and gene-editing approaches
Detailed project descriptions and selected reproducible analyses will be added as the research record is assembled.
