Current Research Interests

Growth, development and our health are profoundly dependent on the proper regulation of metabolic pathways. My lab studies how transcriptional regulators control fat, sugar and energy metabolism in Drosophila melanogaster. In addition, we use molecular, genetic and genomic tools to identify novel genes that have critical regulatory functions with respect to these metabolic processes.
