Biography

Julien Pelletier is an Assistant Professor at the University of Warwick, focusing on insect chemoreception. His main objective is to understand how these sophisticated organisms detect chemicals in their environment. Throughout his career, he has investigated the function of insect chemosensory proteins at molecular, physiological, and behavioral levels, employing diverse functional approaches, including RNA interference, transgenesis, mutagenesis, and heterologous expression systems, as well as conducting electrophysiological recordings. His broader interests encompass evolutionary processes related to the expansion and functional diversification of chemosensory gene repertoires in insects. Julien has held research positions at prestigious institutions including the University of Wisconsin, Keele University in the UK, and the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, contributing significantly to the field of chemoreception and insect biology.
