Matthew J. DeGennaro

Matthew DeGennaro (born 1975) is an American scientist who seeks to identify mosquito olfactory receptors used in human detection and formulate new volatiles that can effectively disrupt mosquito behavior. DeGennaro is credited with generating the first mutant mosquito utilizing zinc finger nucleases, and he is now working on formulating a “life saving perfume” that can deter these vectors for disease. He has been published in ''Nature'', ''Developmental Cell'', ''Current Biology'', ''PLOS Genetics'', and the ''Journal of Biological Chemistry''. Provided by Wikipedia
