Molecular Entology & Toxicology Laboratory
Advisor: Dr. Kyungjae Yoon
Our laboratory investigates why pests develop resistance to insecticides and explores strategies for effective pest control from a molecular toxicology perspective. Additionally, we study the valuable genetic resources found in insects and aim to apply them across various fields.
