Research Summary:
My laboratory uses Drosophila genetics and molecular biology to study universal mechanisms of development. We do most of our experiments with the Drosophila compound eye. Patterning of the Drosophila compound eye involves nearly every known cell signaling pathway and the eye affords many experimental advantages. We are studying how the Notch signaling pathway is regulated by membrane trafficking and ubiquitination.
