Target audience: PhD researchers
Program admission requirements
• PhD in Entomology, Zoology, Life Sciences, or a related field.
• Experience in insect field surveys and taxonomic characterization.
• Experience in nanomaterials fabrication and natural product characterization.
• Proficiency in molecular biology techniques and microbial analysis.

Lectures
In the field of medical entomology and toxicology, the postdoctoral research program for international students focuses on the molecular characterization of insects at the species level, their location, and their reproductive potential. The program provides characterization of natural products using various spectroscopic techniques, as well as the characterization of nanomaterials for toxicological applications. Participants gain experience in metagenomic characterization and insect mass culture
