Biography
I’m a researcher focused on honeybee nutrition and stress factors, exploring how these affect hive resilience. I use molecular and genomic tools to better understand the connection between bee health and their metabolic processes. My goal is to develop strategies that help protect bee populations, promote biodiversity, and support global food security
