The Molecular Mechanisms of Metabolic Response to Desiccation in Drosophila
Sponsor: David Rand
Stephanie examined the molecular mechanisms underlying an observed increase in desiccation resistance in a genetically altered strain of Drosophila (fruit flies). The results will provide a clearer understanding of the interaction between mitochondrial and nuclear DNA, and will provide further insight into molecular pathways that underlie human metabolic disorders.
