We are a research lab at SFASU studying Arthropoda of medical importance using cellular and molecular techniques.
We have a large lab team consisting of graduate and undergraduate students. The Porter Lab, led by Assistant Professor Dr. Lindsay Porter, who is an entomologist specializing in vectors and other arthropods of medical/veterinary significance, is located in historic Nacogdoches, TX at Stephen F. Austin State University in the Department of Biology.
