Gene E. Robinson is the Director of the Institute for Genomic Biology at the University of Illinois, where he leads a research group that uses the Western honey bee, Apis mellifera, to understand the mechanisms governing social behavior. His research focuses on behavioral development, examining how animals—including humans—exhibit genetically determined behavioral responses to environmental and social stimuli. These responses, which increase in complexity, involve learning and are critical for functioning within societies. Robinson's work integrates the activity of individuals within a society with the neural and neuroendocrine mechanisms that regulate behavior in the brain and examines how genes influence social behavior. He is also involved in teaching courses related to team science and entomology.
