Research interests
We are also interested in the mechanism of action and development of resistance to the banned neonicotinoid insecticides in bee, fruitfly and aphid a collaboration with Prof Daniel Robert, Seirian Sumner and Sean Rands (Biological Sciences, Bristol University) with a PhD advertised here:
