Comments
Students from the lab of Matthew DeGennaro will present their work. • Brian Garcia Rodriguez “Role of the Allatotropin Receptor in the behavior and physiology of the Aedes aegypti mosquito”
• Renata Gallegos “Understanding Aedes aegypti Feeding and Mating Behaviors Through CCHamide2 Mutagenesis”
• Hans Lapica “BuildingTtools for Neurogenetics in Aedes aegypti”
Matthew DeGennaro is a neurogeneticist with 20 years of experience in biomedical research. Throughout his scientific career, he has used molecular genetics to address biological questions. His graduate training at NYU Medical Center was with Ruth Lehmann, one of the founders of developmental genetics, who has made fundamental contributions to the fields of germ cell and RNA biology. DeGennaro's postdoctoral training at Rockefeller University was with Leslie Vosshall, a leader in the area of olfaction who initially identified insect olfactory receptors and determined their unique mechanism of action.
