Consuelo De Moraes receives 2019 Recognition Award by the Entomological Society of America
The Entomological Society of America (ESA) has selected Consuelo De Moraes as the 2019 recipient of the Recognition Award in Insect Physiology, Biochemistry and Toxicology (PBT), which is given for highly innovative research in these areas. The professor for Biocommunication and Entomology will be honored in November at the ESA Annual Meeting in Saint Louis, Missouri, USA.
"The work of Consuelo De Moraes has produced numerous ground-breaking studies documenting novel and often unexpected aspects of chemical communication among plants, insects, and other organisms," according to the ESA communication. De Moraes has also made important contributions to the field of disease chemical ecology, exploring the role of olfactory cues in mediating disease transmission by insect vectors as well as their potential use as diagnostic biomarkers.
Consuelo De Moraes’s accomplishments have been recognized through numerous awards and honors, including the Packard Foundation’s Fellowship for Science and Engineering and the Beckman Foundation’s Young Investigator award. She was also the recipient of an NSF Career Award, the Du Pont Young Professor Award, the ESA Early Career Innovation Award, ESA Nan-Yao Su Award for Innovation and Creativity and the International Society of Chemical Ecology’s Silverstein-Simeone Award. She has been named a Fellow of the Entomological Society of America and of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
