Breaking Barriers in Insecticide Resistance: Honoring Prof. Jeff Scott's Career in Insect Toxicology

Sunday, November 9, 2025
8:00 AM - 12:00 PM Pacific
Location: Oregon Convention Center, F150, OCC

Oral Presentation

Join us for an engaging and informative session on the global challenge of insecticide resistance. Experts will present groundbreaking research in molecular genetics, genomics, physiology, biochemistry and toxicology, uncovering resistance mechanisms in arthropod pests and disease vectors. Stay up to date with the latest advancements in this critical field.
