Can we design molecules that rewrite how organisms interact with the environment? I'm delighted to share our lab's latest work, where we use structural biology and chemistry to modulate insect behavior in a clade of destructive agricultural pests. Congrats Steve and team!

New preprint in the lab combining what we like best: insects, love, chemistry and the olfactory system! 1/8 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

A covalent recognition strategy enables conspecific mate identification

The olfactory system can detect an uncountable number of volatile molecules while retaining the ability to discriminate amongst very similar ones. We identified a unique mechanism employed by insect o...
