About

Erika Plettner is a Professor at Simon Fraser University in Canada. Her research focuses on the effects of dialkoxybenzenes against Varroa destructor, as well as the design and synthesis of fluorophore-tagged disparlure enantiomers to study pheromone enantiomer discrimination in Gypsy Moth pheromone-binding proteins. Additionally, she investigates ligand- and pH-induced structural transitions in these proteins, contributing valuable insights to the field of chemical ecology.
