Sarjeet S. Gill is affiliated with the University of California, Riverside in the United States. Their research focuses on molecular biology and insect science, with particular emphasis on insect resistance, genetics, and entomopathogenic microorganisms applied in pest control. Their work also spans plant science, virology, and ecology within the broader domain of biochemistry, genetics, and molecular biology as well as agricultural and biological sciences.

The scientist has contributed to multiple recent publications, including:

  • "Aedes cadherin receptor that mediates Bacillus thuringiensis Cry11A toxicity is essential for mosquito development," 2020, published in PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases
  • "In vivo nanoscale analysis of the dynamic synergistic interaction of Bacillus thuringiensis Cry11Aa and Cyt1Aa toxins in Aedes aegypti," 2021, published in PLoS Pathogens
  • "Oligomerization is a key step for Bacillus thuringiensis Cyt1Aa insecticidal activity but not for toxicity against red blood cells," 2020, published in Insect Biochemistry and Molecular Biology
  • "The Cyt1Aa toxin from Bacillus thuringiensis inserts into target membranes via different mechanisms in insects, red blood cells, and lipid liposomes," 2020, published in Journal of Biological Chemistry
  • "Investigation of HIV-1 Gag binding with RNAs and lipids using Atomic Force Microscopy," 2020, published in PLoS ONE

The scientist frequently publishes in venues such as:

  • Journal of Biological Chemistry
