Michael  Goblirsch    Research Entomologist /ARSUserFiles/56323/Mike.jpg Dr. Mike Goblirsch is a Research Entomologist stationed at the Thad Cochran Southern Horticultural Research Laboratory in Poplarville MS. His current research focuses on the use of a continuous cell line that he established from honey bee embryonic tissues to explore the effects of pathogens, such as viruses, and pesticides on honey bee health at the cellular and molecular levels. He also studies the effects of existing and new pesticides on honey bees at the organismal and colony levels. ****Goblirsch - Publications **Recent Publications:** Kumar D, Alburaki M, Tahir F, **Goblirsch M**, Adamczyk J, Karim S. 2022.
