Eamonn Mallon is Professor of Evolutionary Biology and Associate Dean of Research in the Department of Genetics and Genome Biology at the University of Leicester. His research investigates evolutionary biology, epigenetics, and social insect behavior, with particular focus on DNA methylation's role in development, aging, and social organization in insects.
Research explores epigenetic mechanisms in diverse insect systems including bumblebees, parasitoid wasps, and Daphnia. Investigates how environmental factors like pollution affect insect microbiomes and how epigenetic processes mediate evolutionary adaptations and phenotypic plasticity.
Recent work examines DNA methylation in developmental programming, aging processes, caste determination in social insects, and environmental influences on epigenetic systems. Research integrates molecular biology, genomics, and evolutionary ecology approaches.
