Doctor of Philosophy in Entomology - Physiology, Molecular Biology, Genetics and Genomics

Excellent facilities for laboratory and field studies include the outstanding Entomology Library and a renowned insect collection on the Cornell campus. The Boyce Thompson Institute at Cornell and the New York State Agricultural Experiment Station at Geneva are outstanding research facilities. The 21st Century may be the century of genomics, but there remains a huge gap in our understanding of the connection between genotype and phenotype. Research in sub?organismal insect biology at Cornell integrates a range of analysis from genomics and RNA editing to behavioral physiology and nutrition. Specific areas of strength include nutritional physiology, infection and immunity, toxicology and insecticide resistance, and neurobiology. Much of our research is conduced within an evolutionary context.

Students in this focus area receive training in cutting edge techniques at the lab bench, in laboratory mesocosms, and in the field, with most student thesis projects bridging several levels of analysis. Suborganismal biologists across Cornell have cultivated a culture of collaboration, and students can easily learn techniques from, share equipment, and interact with researchers and students in other labs within, and outside of, the Field of Entomology. Our Ph.D. graduates in this focus area often do post?doctoral research on their way to academic appointments, while others pursue research careers in industry or governmental agencies.
