About Wong Lab

Entomology and Nematology Department, University of Florida

Wong Lab's central focus is host-microbe interactions, from mutualism to pathogenesis. We integrate multi-omics and molecular genetic approaches to identify the effectors and mechanisms underlying microbial modulation of host behavior, physiology and pathology.
