Monika Gulia-Nuss

Associate Professor & Graduate Program Director, Biochemistry

Summary

My research program investigates the fundamental questions related to vector biology and vector-parasite interaction. I am particularly interested in aspects of invertebrate reproductive physiology, nutrient allocation, and vector competence and population genomics.
