The fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, looks so different from humans. But most fundamental biological mechanisms and pathways are conserved between these species. Fruit fly has been proven as a valuable tool, enabling many important discoveries in neurological disease research. I'm interested in identifying genes involved in the undiagnosed diseases using fruit fly as a model organism. And also, I want to take advantage of this system to study the mechanisms underlying neurodegeneration, thus providing therapeutic strategies. |
