Targeting ageing and neurodegenerative diseases using the fruit-fly Drosophila melanogaster

Royal Holloway, University of London School of Biological Sciences
In the last 20 years the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster emerged as a pre-eminent model system for studying changes that occur during both normal and pathological ageing (~75 per cent of the genes that cause disease in humans are also found in the fruit fly!). Read more

MScR - Determining the genetic and circadian basis of bipolar disorder using Drosophila

University of Bristol School of Physiology, Pharmacology & Neuroscience
Circadian rhythms and sleep are evolutionarily conserved from fruit flies (Drosophila) and are fundamental as well as vital to biology and health (Jagannath et al., 2017; Menet and Rosbash, 2011). Read more

Identifying the neurogenetic network underlying visually-driven sleep

University of Leicester Department of Genetics and Genome Biology
General background. Sleep is a behavioural quiescence widely observed in the animal kingdom. During sleep, an animal’s motor activity, as well as their responsiveness to environmental stimuli, are largely reduced. Read more

Understanding the ecological and evolutionary effects of heatwaves in tropical species and ecological communities

James Cook University College of Science and Engineering
Heatwaves are considered one of the most threatening processes for our plants and animal species as the Earth’s climate warms. There is much to understand about how our species and the ecological communities they form will change and adapt through heatwaves. Read more

The use of Drosophila melanogaster to identify novel therapeutic agents for Alzheimer’s disease

University of Nottingham School of Life Sciences
Since 2003, our understanding of the causes of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) have improved considerably, however, in that time only one new drug treatment has been approved. Read more

Analysis of pathogen determinants recognized by the hypervariable immune receptor Dscam

University of Birmingham School of Biosciences
Background. To mount an immune response, host organisms must first recognize the pathogen with which they are infected. The first line of defense against pathogen infection in animals is provided through the innate immune response. Read more

Short and long-term genetic and behavioural consequences of traumatic brain injury in fruit flies

University of Leicester Department of Genetics and Genome Biology
General background . How many fingers am I holding up? What day of the week is it? Follow my finger? These three questions are designed to test your sensory, memory and motor neural abilities following an accident; all three systems are affected by a severe deceleration of your brain. Read more
