About

Professor Susanne Foitzik is a faculty member at Johannes Gutenberg Universität Mainz, Germany. Her research focuses on social insects, particularly ants, examining topics such as molecular adjustments to social environments, the impact of parasites on colony dynamics, and sensory regulation of labor division. Recent publications highlight her investigations into brain transcriptomes, cooperative behavior, and genomic adaptations in response to environmental challenges.
