Daniel Kronauer studies social evolution and behavior within complex societies. The sophisticated behavior, communication, and division of labor within ant colonies make these social insects

Annette Schenck is Professor and head of the Translational genomics of Neurodevelopmental Disorder group at Nijmegen’s Human Genetics Department,

After studying the cell biology of the Drosophila CNS midline cells, we addressed the role receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) signaling during glial development. We performed several large scale

I grew up in Madrid, Spain, and carried out my first degree in Biological Sciences at the Universidad Complutense in Madrid. I obtained my DPhil from the University of Oxford

Robin Hiesinger received his PhD in 2000 and after a postdoc with Hugo Bellen until 2006 ran a lab until 2015 in the US and ever since in Berlin, Germany. The Hiesinger lab uses genetics, live imaging and

Thomas Preat earned his PhD at Orsay University in 1989 after studying the fused gene involved in drosophila embryonic development. He discovered the Suppressor-of-fused pathway. Following his PhD he changed field to study learning and memory

Silke Sachse studies the neuronal basis of olfaction in insects with a special focus on Drosophila melanogaster. By combining neurogenetic tools with advanced techniques, such as in vivo two-photon microscopy, neuronal tracing and reconstructions,
