About

John Werren is the Nathaniel & Helen Wisch Professor at the University of Rochester, USA. His research focuses on evolutionary genetics, particularly in the areas of genome assembly and annotation, chemical ecology, and microbial symbiosis. Recent publications include studies on the genome of the parasitoid wasp Nasonia, as well as investigations into host interactions and pest control mechanisms in various insect species.
