BODMER LAB

The Bodmer Laboratory is investigating in the cellular and molecular basis of heart development and function using the Drosophila melanogaster model system... A main area of research focuses on adult heart function. We have developed a number of tools that allow us to analyze heart function in the fly and are using these tools to investigate the effects of genetic mutations, aging, sleep, hypoxia and diet on heart performance.
