Andy Michel

Andy Michel studies how agricultural insect pests, especially the soybean aphid and the brown marmorated stink bug, adapt to and overcome plant defenses. This work combines genetics, genome analysis, and gene expression studies to understand insect resistance mechanisms, with the goal of informing pest management strategies such as breeding crops with better host-plant resistance.

Publication output peaked sharply in 2018 and has since slowed to a much lower and irregular pace, averaging less than one publication per year over the last five years.
