Degree Sought:
Ph.D. in Entomology
I am interested in studying the mechanisms of developmental resistance in gypsy moth (Lymantria dispar) to the L. dispar nucleopolyhedrovirus (LdNPV). I will be studying aspects of the insect immune system, especially the behavior and composition of larval hemocytes with regard to the virus.
