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.

New manuscript alert!
A great manuscript by Anna Ziegler showing how the complex metabolic disbalance of lipid metabolism diseases can be sorted using fly genetics! With new ceramide synthase (CerS) mutants, this manuscript presents an in vivo model of human Progressive Myoclonic Epilepsy type 8 (PME8) in Drosophila.
Have a good read!
