Dr Andrew Twidle

Scientist

I am interested in the chemical signals (semiochemicals) that plants and animals use to communicate with each other. My work focuses on the identification, synthesis and biological testing of semiochemicals, with the aim of using these compounds to make environmentally friendly pest management tools.
