    • Biochemical and molecular mechanism of stress response in honey bees,

 

    • Mechanisms od antioxidant protection and redox homeostasis,

 

    • Epigenetic changes in honey bees.

 

Techniques:

    • Experience in rearing insects in laboratory conditions and performing acute and chronic oral tests in bees for evaluating influence of pesticides or other compounds of interest,

 

    • Wide ranges of molecular/biochemical techniques: spectrophotometric assays, qPCR, Western blot, various chromatography methods, DNA microarrays, recombinant DNA techniques.
