Faculty

Alden Estep, Ph. D. Related Seminars and Products

Dr. Alden Estep is a Research Entomologist in the Mosquito & Fly Research Unit of the Center for Medical, Agricultural, and Veterinary Entomology. His laboratory studies the mechanisms underlying insecticide resistance in mosquitoes and flies, develops new methods to rapidly assess resistance and pathogens in field populations, and develops effective mitigation strategies for the control of resistant arthropods. He has published more than 60 articles related to insect toxicology, genomics, and insecticide resistance and served on graduate committees through an adjunct appointment. He has also given numerous presentations, lectures, and webinars on insecticide resistance and RNA interference.

Lindsay Baxter, M.S. Related Seminars and Products

Lindsay Baxter manages the pesticide resistance monitoring program within the Northeast Regional Center for Excellence in Vector-borne Diseases (NEVBD). She received her M.S. in Entomology with a concentration in medical entomology and public health from Cornell University in May of 2021. Her thesis explored the environmental associations of Powassan virus and Ixodes scapularis ticks in a hotspot in Southern Maine. Baxter is one of nine students to complete a M.S. through the NEVBD. In her current role, she works with mosquito control and public health professionals throughout the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions to identify and further investigate pesticide resistance in medically important ticks and mosquitoes.
