Troy Anderson

Dr. Troy Anderson is a Professor in the Department of Entomology at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. His research focuses on arthropod-borne disease prevention, pollinating insect protection, and beneficial insect conservation, integrating entomological and chemical sciences to advance human, animal, and environmental health.

• B.S. in Biological Sciences, Wichita State University, 1999
• M.S. in Ecotoxicology, Wichita State University, 2001
• Ph.D. in Insect Toxicology, Kansas State University, 2006
• Post-Doctoral Fellow in Neurotoxicology, Virginia Tech, 2008

Anderson’s research program spans basic to applied studies in insect physiotoxicology, targeting chemical modes of action, resistance mechanisms in pathogen-transmitting arthropods, and mitigating agrochemical risks to beneficial insects. His work employs toxicology, biochemistry, electrophysiology, genomics, and molecular biology to address global vector control and pollinator health challenges.

His recent publications highlight trends in mosquito control, insecticide resistance management, and pollinator protection. Key themes include the role of potassium ion channels in honey bee immunity, the impact of environmental stressors on detoxification enzymes, and the development of biorational compounds to counter pesticide resistance. Collaborations and international partnerships underpin his transformative approach to sustainable entomological solutions.

As of the latest records, Dr. Anderson actively contributes to his field without indications of part-time status or awards listed. His work remains central to advancing both scientific understanding and practical applications in entomology and toxicology.
