About

Maxwell Scott is a Professor at North Carolina State University, located in the United States. His research focuses on genetic biocontrol methods and the manipulation of insect genetics, particularly in relation to pest management. Recent articles highlight his work on transgenic lines of Drosophila suzukii, the ecological impacts of tetracyclines on the microbiome and behavior of Lucilia cuprina, and ethical considerations surrounding genome modification for pest control.
