Frontiers in Quantitative Biology Seminar

BRUCE EDGAR, UNIVERSITY OF UTAH

The Edgar lab's research focuses on the mechanisms that control cell growth and proliferation in the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster. The superlative genetic tools and fast life cycle of this tiny model organism make it a powerful system for discovery-based research, and its genetic similarity to humans makes much of what is discovered relevant to human biology and health.

The Edgar lab uses genetics to characterize the programs of cell growth and proliferation that occur during development, regeneration and tumorigenesis, with the goal of finding the genes that act as limiting regulators in each context. They furthermore seek to understand how networks of genes and communities of cells in a tissue function as integrated systems.
