Katie Thompson-Peer: Fruit Flies as a Model to Study Dendrite Regeneration
The fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, is widely used for biological research. That's true for assistant professor Katie Thompson-Peer of the Department of Developmental and Cell Biology, UC Irvine, who will speak on "Cellular Mechanisms of Dendrite Regeneration after...

Christine Tabuloc's Seminar: Inside Her Intricate Research World of Drosophila
(Editor's Note: Her exit seminar is here) Remember the spotted-wing drosophila, Drosophila suzukii? Native to Southeast Asia, it infests soft-skinned fruits such as strawberries, raspberries, cherries, blueberries, blackberries, peaches and grapes. Scientists first detected it in the United...

Green Hall: Fitting Tribute to Two Scientists
It's a fitting tribute to see the UC Davis Life Sciences Building recently renamed the Melvin M. and Kathleen C. Green Hall. The building, which houses the UC Davis College of Biological Sciences' research laboratories, faculty and staff, opened in 1997 as an addition to Briggs Hall, home...

What a Difference These Four UC Davis Entomologists Are Making!
They study bees, ants, fruit flies and spider flies. And that's just a small portion of what they do. And what a difference they're making! Four UC Davis entomologists won awards from the Pacific Branch, Entomological Society of America (PBESA). They will be honored at the PBESA conference set...

Antoine Brieux to Share PPTM Research on Fruit Fly
Postdoctoral scientist Antoine Brieux of the Joanna Chiu lab, UC Davis Department of Entomology and Nematology, is gearing up for a seminar next week on his research on the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, involving photoperiodic time measurement (PPTM). His seminar, part of the department's...
Postdoctoral fellow Antoine Brieux of the Joanna Chiu lab, UC Davis Department of Entomology and Nematology, will present a seminar at 4:10 p.m., Wednesday, Feb. 13 in Briggs Hall on "Understanding the Molecular Mechanisms Underlying Photoperiodic Time Measurement in Drosophila melanogaster."
