How does parental ageing affect gene expression dynamics in the Drosophila embryo?

  Research Group: Molecular and Cellular Function
In many organisms including humans, fertility declines with age, and adverse pregnancy outcomes increase with maternal age. The aim of this project is to exploit the fruitfly Drosophila as a model to study how gene expression dynamics in the embryo are dysregulated by maternal age and a decline in oocyte quality.
