Research Interests:
Calcium signaling in Drosophila; Gravity sensing in Drosophila; Analysis of developmental processes mediated by the ubiquitous calcium sensor calmodulin and investigation of a new testis-specific calcium sensor protein which we have identified and termed Androcam. To identify the pathways involved in gravitational responses, we are isolating mutants of Drosophila melanogaster that show aberrant gravitaxic behavior.
