I am currently working as a postdoctoral research scholar at the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, USA on juvenile hormone (JH) signaling in relation to Monarch butterfly migration. In my current projects, I am linking environmental and physiological influences on the onset of migration and its regulation in Monarchs. This involves the chemical and genetic manipulations followed by phenotypic and reproductive trait validation along with life-history traits. Before this I was a postdoctoral fellow at Department of Ecology, Evolution and Behavior, The Alexander Silberman Institute of Life Sciences, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel. During the period, I was awarded the Planning and Budgeting committee (PBC) fellowship for Outstanding Chinese and Indian Post-Doctoral Fellows in Israel. I accomplished my Ph.D. at School of Biotechnology, Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi, India. My main research interests include the molecular underpinnings of diverse aspects of insect physiology and behaviors. I am also a part of the reviewers panel of the journal Clocks and sleep and done reviewing work for over 70 papers in many journals of Elsevier, Frontiers and MDPI (https://publons.com/researcher/1609883/atul-pandey/).
