Metabolism serves as a dynamic force influencing both developmental and physiological transformations. Within this intricate network, numerous metabolic and developmental pathways intertwine, determining the destiny of cells, organs, and organisms. Our research group is at the forefront of exploring the metabolic intricacies of development, with a specific focus on unraveling the dominant metabolic processes in invertebrates and deciphering their pivotal roles in shaping development.
Our primary objective is to broaden the understanding of insect pest physiology. By delving into the nuances of invertebrate metabolism, we aim to unearth critical insights that can redefine our approach to pest management. Our research endeavors go beyond conventional boundaries, seeking to identify insect-specific targets that can serve as the foundation for the next generation of insecticidal molecules.
In our pursuit of sustainable solutions, we are actively developing applications utilizing natural molecules. This innovative approach is designed to target specific insect vulnerabilities, providing an environmentally conscious alternative to current pest management practices. Our commitment extends to minimizing ecological off-target effects, ensuring that our research contributes not only to effective pest control but also to the preservation of our ecosystem.
Join us on this journey as we navigate the intricate intersection of metabolism and development, unlocking the secrets that could revolutionize insect pest management and contribute to a more sustainable and harmonious coexistence with the natural world.
