What we study

Research

Understanding insecticide resistance โ€” and developing practical solutions through innovative research and collaboration.

01

Insect Resistance

The ability of certain insects to withstand insecticides or other control measures designed to manage them โ€” how it arises, how it spreads, and how to detect it early.

02

Molecular Detoxification

The biochemical and genetic processes by which insects metabolise and eliminate toxic compounds โ€” the enzymatic machinery that often underlies resistance.

03

Resistance Management

Strategies that prolong the effectiveness of pest-control tools, balancing crop protection with environmental and economic sustainability.
