Virginia Tech Department of Entomology (Collegiate Club)
Biography:
Virginia Tech Department of Entomolgy faculty address a broad range of issues involving insects in most of their habitats: in our crops, houses, forests, fields, vegetables, fruits, water, food, and on our bodies. Research programs are varied and include internationally recognized foundational biomedical research programs emphasizing vector-borne diseases and their transmission by mosquitoes. Comparative genomics and molecular genetics of these vectors provide insights into our ability to explain their vectorial capacity with the goal of improving pest management and disease reduction.
Faculty are also involved in an incredibly wide variety of applied insect management efforts, including these mosquito vectors as well as pests attacking our food, forests, and homes. These management efforts focus on the development and application of biologically based and sustainable management tools in novel and exciting ways. Virginia Tech’s Extension programs effectively communicate the latest developments in pest management and invasive species across the commonwealth. Extension faculty successfully protect human health and the environment through comprehensive, statewide pesticide safety education efforts.
Research programs are exploring the remarkable biodiversity of insects in the Appalachians and beyond, and a new program in Pollinator Biology and Ecology will add an important dimension to our portfolio.
