Thomas Brody's profile

What I do

My current effort in the laboratory is to identify enhancer elements involved in regulation of Drosophila neural precursor cell determinants.

Affiliations

Location

City:
Washington, District of Columbia, United States
Hub:
Washington DC-Baltimore

Interests

I am interested in gene regulation, specifically the structure of enhancers. I have collaborated in creating two programs to analyze enhancers, EvoPrinter and cis-Decoder. I have also built a cyberspace guide to Drosophila development, The Interactive Fly.

Projects

Identification of Drosophila neural determinsnts that regulated temporally.
Functional dissection of nerfin-1, deadpan and Pdm-1 enhancers.
