Congratulations to Dr. Hugo J. Bellen for being named the 2024 Gruber Genetics Prize recipient for his landmark contributions to #genetics #research & pioneering the use of fruit flies to study human diseases BCMHouston Texas Children's The GruberFoundation bit.ly/3O66Ym7

Congrats, Hugo!

Great! It should be an exciting talk!

I am grateful to be a part of Houston Methodist, which provides excellent research support and fosters dynamic collaborations between clinicians and researchers. Stay tuned for exciting translational research using fly model!

Great news! Jenny and Esther's endeavor was huge. It was indeed an epic journey as a team. Stay tuned.

Our researcher Dr. Hyunglok Chung has unveiled a novel function of the cyclin-dependent kinase protein CDK19, a potential target for the prevention and treatment of Parkinson's and other disorders of the nervous system. spr.ly/6017gSBqX
