Rotation projects

Rotation students in the lab will have the following choices of research projects:

1) Further characterize the dCAMTA/dFbxl4-mediate deactivation of rhodopsin and the morphological defects due to loss of this pathway. 

2) Participate in the characterization of additional mutant flies that have defective rhodopsin regulation, and investigate why abnormal rhodopsin signaling leads to retinal degeneration.

3) Explore the functions of rhodopsin regulatory molecules in other receptor signaling cascades.  

4) Isolate new fly mutants with impaired GPCR signaling.
