Tavosanis Lab

Utilizing the classic genetic model organism Drosophila, we study the cellular and molecular mechanisms that support neuronal resilience and dynamics in development and during the animal’s adult life.
We are group of enthusiastic senior and junior researchers at RWTH Aachen University.
