Dr. Adam C.N. Wong

Assistant Professor
Insect-Microbe Interactions

My program’s central focus is understanding how host-microbe interactions drive phenotypic diversity, spanning the areas of symbiosis, pathogenesis, nutrition, and behavior. A major theme is to integrate omics, molecular, and ecological approaches to better understand how the gut microbiome modulates insect behavioral and physiological responses to changing environments and the virulence mechanisms of gut pathogens.
