We all are happy and proud and congratulate Francesca Sara Colizzi for her great defense of her PhD thesis on the characterization of the circadian clock and neuropeptides in aphids. Well done dottoressa Sara and all the best for the PostDoc! GSLS Universität Würzburg #UniWürzburg

Check out this new preprint on the Drosophila clock connectome by Meet Zandawala and Helfrich-Förster labs from the department.

Nils Reinhard is now on Twitter! Welcome him with a follow

The proceedings of the 7th biennial meeting of the North American Society for Comparative Endocrinology will be published as a special issue in General and Comparative Endocrinology. Deadline to submit is 12/31/2023. More info here: sciencedirect.com/journal/genera…

Sign-up to present in our symposium (16-17) "Neuropeptide signalling in insects: diverse and pleiotropic actions" International Congress of Entomology 2024 Kyoto JP in Kyoto, Japan.

Preprint 🚨 Everybody, put your cakes down! It’s time to talk about aminergic and peptidergic modulation of Insulin-Producing Cells (IPCs) in Drosophila. I am over the moon to share our preprint today! 🤩 biorxiv.org/content/10.110… (1/n)

Very excited to share our latest pre-print on the modulation of Insulin-Producing Cells in #Drosophila, conveniently unpacked for you in this🧵by Tina Held, who spearheaded the project alongside Rituja Singh Bisen and our collaborator & neighbor Meet Zandawala. --> biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Check out this new preprint from Jan M Ache and Meet Zandawala labs on #Drosophila insulin-producing cells. See the 🧵 by co-first author Tina Held for more details.

New lab preprint on modulation of #Drosophila insulin producing cells (IPCs). How do single-cell transcriptomic analyses compare with Gal4-based expression mapping? Are IPCs really a homogenous population of 14 cells? 🧵 (1/n) biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Controlling arms and legs requires feedback from position/movement sensors (proprioceptors). But how is feedback flexibly tuned to match behavior? In our new preprint, we reveal how the motor system tunes proprioceptive feedback in Drosophila 🧵 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Congratulations to @philip_suess for successfully defending his thesis titled "Unraveling the regulatory mechanisms of pupal diapause termination". Many thanks to the opponent Christian Wegener Würzburg FlyNeurogenetics and the committee Noushin Emami, Martin Andersson and Richard Walters.
