Class lecture and hands-on lab (MSc/PhD level).

With a focus on training Georgia state public health scientists, I developed a curriculum focusing on insecticide resistance in mosquito vector populations. The course covered the history, evolution, mechanisms, effects, detection and managment of insecticide resistance in mosquito vector populations.

I led the laboratory session on screening for insecticide resistance in mosquito larvae.
