Potential Rotation Projects

The Waddell lab explores learning and memory at the molecular, cellular and neural circuit level using the power of genetics in Drosophila. Ongoing projects evolve quickly and this web-page is always far behind.

Our field is wide-open and there are many experimental avenues to pursue. These projects are available for rotation students and the eventual choice is somewhat determined by student enthusiasm. I therefore encourage potential students to contact the lab, and meet the people, to determine their respective interests.

We are a lively bunch on the 7th floor of the LRB. The Waddell lab currently has two postdocs and three students. Students can expect to gain a broad expertise including molecular biology, genetics, imaging and behavioral analysis using Drosophila as a model.
