Orian Gilmer

Dr. Orian Gilmer is a PostDoctoral researcher at the Chair of Behavioral Physiology and Sociobiology (Zoology II) at the University of Würzburg. His work focuses on CRISPR-Cas9-based gene editing in Apis mellifera to study biogenic amine receptors and their role in social organization, learning, and memory.

• Research: Investigates neuromodulatory signaling pathways in honeybee brains through knock-in/knock-out gene strategies.
• Techniques: Uses molecular tagging (e.g., GFP) for anatomical and functional receptor analysis.

This research aims to establish a molecular framework for behavioral regulation in eusocial insects.
