Monica Germano
Licenciada y Doctora en Ciencias Biológicas (Universidad de Buenos Aires)
Biologist and Doctor in Biological Sciences (University of Buenos Aires)
Es investigadora adjunta del CONICET. Sus intereses de investigación se relacionan con la ecología y toxicología de insectos plaga. En este contexto sus estudios se centran en establecer los procesos asociados a la selección de huéspedes por parte de la plaga, y a la resistencia a insecticidas y sus efectos sobre las poblaciones de insectos.
