Description
Join Morgridge Institute investigator Dr. Daniela Drummond-Barbosa for a fascinating look at how the fruit fly can help scientists understand the genetic drivers of stem cell disorders, obesity, infertility, and more.
Dr. Drummond-Barbosa’s lab explores how tissues develop from stem cells, how fertility is controlled, and how physiology impacts reproduction. They are particularly passionate about understanding the effects of external factors like diet, temperature, and exercise.
