Christelle Guédot

Christelle Guédot is an Associate Professor and Extension Specialist in the Department of Entomology at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, part of the College of Agricultural and Life Sciences. Her work focuses on sustainable insect pest management and pollination services for fruit crops in Wisconsin.

Education:

• Post-doc, USDA-ARS, Yakima, WA (2005–2011)
• Ph.D. in Biology, Utah State University, Logan, UT (2004)
• Ability to conduct scientific research, École Pratique des Hautes Études, France (1998)
• Maîtrise in Neurobiology, Université Paul Sabatier, Toulouse, France (1997)
• B.S. in Cell Biology and Physiology, Université des Sciences, Montpellier, France (1996)

Her research centers on the role of natural chemicals—semiochemicals—in mediating insect behavior, with applications in developing environmentally sound pest control strategies. She emphasizes conserving and enhancing pollination services in fruit production systems. Her extension work delivers science-based guidance to Wisconsin fruit growers on IPM and pollinator health.

While no recent articles are listed in the provided text, her body of work likely spans chemical ecology, agricultural entomology, and sustainable farming practices, integrating field research with practical outreach.

Scientific Awards:

Dr. Guédot leads an active research and extension program. She advises growers through outreach initiatives and contributes to grants focused on sustainable agriculture, pest ecology, and pollinator conservation. Though specific students are not named, her role includes mentoring graduate students and collaborating with interdisciplinary teams.

Her laboratory, part of the Department of Entomology at Russell Laboratories, conducts field and lab studies on pest insects and pollinators affecting aronia, berries, and other fruit crops. The team integrates chemical ecology, behavioral assays, and field trials to develop practical IPM tools.
