Rachel is a Post Doctoral researcher from Ireland. Utilising proteomics, she investigates fundamental research questions such as the effects of aging and phenotypic shifts in honeybee workers. One major aspect of this research is uncovering the significant differences between winter and summer honeybees. Rachel's research looks to uncover a deeper understanding into honeybee biology, through applying a novel experimental design of linking proteomics and phenotypic data resulting in detailed insights into the cellular, individual and finally the colony level. This resarch involves combines field trials with laboratory investigations.
