Mikaelyan  Lab 

We delve into host-microbe interactions in insects, emphasizing the roles of microbial symbionts in dietary specialists and pest management. By leveraging these insect models, we also address broader questions relating to digestion and microbiome dynamics across diverse animal systems.

 

The Mikaelyan lab is committed to diversity in science and providing equal training opportunities to the scientists of the future.  We believe that our individual differences strengthen us collectively. We strive to actively promote a welcoming work environment that is representative and respectful of our unique values, opinions, and backgrounds.
