Biography
Victor Guzov has his expertise in protein engineering and evolution, mode of action of insecticidal proteins and genetic engineering of crop plants. He has been long involved in optimization of insecticidal proteins for the purpose of protection of crop plants from insect infestation using biotechnology approaches. That led him to research on mode of action of insecticidal proteins, and ways to assess their value for insect resistance management. His collaborative research with both industry and academic scientists on evolution of Bt proteins resulted in new opportunities for effective management of insect resistance to genetically-modified crop plants.
