BIOGRAPHY

Dr. Subba Reddy Palli received his doctorate from the University of Western Ontario and post-doctoral training at the University of Washington. Upon graduation, he worked as a research scientist at the Canadian Forest Service’s Great Lakes Forestry Centre and later at Rohm and Hass Company as the senior research scientist and group leader. Dr. Palli played a key role in development of Ecdysone Receptor based Gene Switch technology that is being tested in clinical trials for regulation of anticancer genes in humans and production of bioplastics in plants. Dr. Palli joined the University of Kentucky Department Of Entomology as an assistant professor in 2002 and was promoted to associate professor and professor in 2005 and 2008, respectively. He became Chairman of department of Entomology in 2015. He also served as the co-director of NSF I/UCRC on Arthropod Management Technologies.

He has received several prestigious awards at UK including a University Research Professorship, the Thomas Poe Cooper Research Award, Bobby Pass Excellence in Grantsmanship Award, High Impact Research/Extension Award and Wethington Award. Dr. Palli also serves as the co-director of the Center for Arthropod Management Technologies, a recently established National Science Foundation Industry and University Cooperative Research Center. Dr. Palli is also the recipient of Entomological Society of America (ESA) recognition award in Insect Physiology, Biochemistry and Toxicology. He was selected as a fellow of ESA and AAAS.

Dr. Palli’s research focuses on hormonal regulation of gene expression in insects with a goal to identify proteins that play key roles in signal transduction of ecdysteroids, juvenile hormones and other hormones and use them for developing novel environmentally safe pest management methods. He has published more than 250 peer-reviewed journal articles and book chapters and co-edited a book. He holds 25 patents. Recent research from Dr. Palli’s laboratory helped to develop RNA interference technology based methods for controlling insect pests as well as to fight insecticide resistance in beetles and bed bugs. He has organized and chaired several symposia at the ESA annual meetings as well as at international conferences. Dr. Palli also served as president of the ESA Physiology, Biochemistry, and Toxicology Section. He currently serves on the editorial boards of 12 journals and served on the grant review panels of the NSF, U.S. Department of Agriculture-National Research Initiative and National Institutes of Health.
