Collaboration

  • David Sedlak (CEO, Preagon Biotech) is our partner on several domestic and EU funded projects aimed at discovery of small-molecular compounds that modulate JH receptor signaling and their development into novel, environmentally friendly insecticides. 
  • Roman Tuma and his team at the Faculty of Science (USB, Ceske Budejovice) collaborates with us on molecular modeling and structure resolution of the juvenile hormone receptor (JHR) complex.
  • Tomas Dolezal of the Faculty of Science (USB, Ceske Budejovice) collaborates with us on deciphering the role of JH signaling in innate immunity using a parasitoid wasp infection model. 
  • Mark Clifton, Executive Director of the North Shore Mosquito Abatement District, Northfield, IL, collaborates with us on application of novel JH receptor agonists to control mosquitoes in the USA.
