Active Research Projects
The Control of Hox Specificity and Activity
We study how the Hox family of transcription factors bind to the correct DNA sequences and regulate the correct target genes in vivo.
Motor Neuron Development and Circuitry
We are studying how the neural circuitry that is required for coordinated walking in adult flies is constructed during development, and how it functions in the adult.
