EducationPhD, SIP Biology, Concordia University. 1992 MSc, Biology, Université du Québec à Montréal. 1987 BSc, Biology, Université du Québec à Montréal. 1986 ResearchMy research is focused on the development of reduced risk approaches to control insect pest populations. These biological control tools are based on the use of microorganisms (bacteria, viruses and fungi). Knowledge of biology and of the behavior of insects, as well as the identification and characterization of entomopathogenic microorganisms are essential for the development of effective biological control strategies.QCBS students Apolline MaurinPh.D. Previous students (since 2009) Narin SreiPostdoctoral fellow  Audrey-Anne DurandPh.D.  Nejia LassouedPh.D.  Judith MogouongPh.D.  Asma JabaM.Sc.
