Research summary

Note: the publication list attributed to this name appears to mix at least two distinct research areas (medical/clinical case reports and studies, and evolutionary genetics of social insects), which may indicate multiple researchers sharing this name in the underlying data. The insect-related work focuses on the genetics and genomics of social behavior in bees and wasps, including caste differences, population genetics of invasive hornet species, and mitochondrial genome evolution. The clinical publications cover topics such as cancer treatment outcomes, radiotherapy, and case reports, which appear unrelated to the genetics research.

Publication output rose from 2017 through a peak around 2023, then declined in 2024-2026, with an average of about 4-5 papers per year over the last five years.
