Dr. Auer's work focuses on olfactory system adaptation, vertebrate body asymmetry, and CRISPR/Cas9 applications. He has contributed to molecular diagnostics in resource-limited settings and investigated neural circuit evolution in Drosophila and zebrafish.
Recent publications highlight his expertise in sensory gene regulation and neuroecological adaptation, with studies on odorant receptor dynamics, left-right organizer development, and mosquito olfactory encoding. His research often integrates evolutionary perspectives with technical innovation.
Dr. Auer actively participates in global scientific initiatives like TReND in Africa, advocating for equitable biotechnology dissemination. His laboratory explores the genetic basis of sensory specialization and neural circuit evolution.
