Science

Conducts systematics research on medically important arthropods and maintains the US mosquito collection. Located at the Smithsonian Institution in Suitland, Maryland, USA.

Research is focused on chemical and molecular ecology, biodiversity and pest management and insect-host interactions.

Undertakes basic and applied research including the areas where insects serve as suitable models for the solution of general biological problems.

Research areas include insect systematics, chemical and molecular ecology, insect physiology and molecular biology, conservation and utilization of beneficial insects, and integrated pest management.

Research areas include insect molecular biology, physiology, and genetics, insect behavior, ecology and evolution, pest management and applied ecology.

Research interests include insect genetics, ecology, evolution, physiology, taxonomy, behavior, molecular pathology, molecular and developmental biology and pest management.
