#drosophila — Public Fediverse posts

But with a serendipitous find, we'll be building a dual #Drosophila genetic toolkit enabled by a non-model species with a 'balancer': D. testacea. STAY TUNED. Lots to do, and it'll take a long while, but happy to already chat with evolutionary fly folks if this could boost your research. 2/2

🎉 Very excited to announce I've won an @[email protected] Prize!!! 🎉 We'll be asking some really cool questions that are kinda low-hanging fruit, but have been beyond the technical limits to ask in another system without the similarly powerful genetics as #Drosophila melanogaster. 1/2

From Prof. Pavan Agrawal:

"We are recruiting three PhD students for the 2026–27 Health Sciences intake at the Agrawal Lab, Centre for Molecular Neurosciences, KMC Manipal, MAHE."

"The lab studies how social experience and environmental stress reshape brain function and behavior using Drosophila genetics, functional genomics, behavioral neuroscience, and open-source tool development. Current projects span:

1. Cell-type specific molecular responses to social isolation
2. Wearable sensors, spatial behavior, and anxiety biology
3. Neuro-immune regulation of behavior under social stress

"Our work combines neurogenetics, transcriptomics, quantitative behavior, and machine-vision approaches, including DANCE, our open-source behavioral analysis platform recently published in eLife."
