Drosophila innate immune responses
Our group uses Drosophila and a range of genetic tools to study physiology at the organismal level. The three main axes of our research are: 1) Drosophila immunity; 2) Drosophila-Spiroplasma interaction; 3) Drosophila gut function (including mucosal immunology, epithelium renewal, and metabolism).
