Findlay Science Team
Drosophila Evolutionary and Reproductive Genetics
Embedded Files
Welcome to the Findlay Lab! We are located in the Biology Department at College of the Holy Cross in Worcester, Massachusetts. We use the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, as a model system to study the function and evolution of proteins involved in reproduction. Our research on the function and evolution of de novo evolved genes has been funded by the National Science Foundation -- read more here and here!
We are located in O'Neil 105 in the Fauci Integrated Science Complex on the Holy Cross campus. Our mailing address is:

The Findlay Lab was well represented at the 2026 Fly Meeting in Chicago. Grace Ryan '27 presented our current data about the functional consequences of the rapid of the saturn gene in the Evolution platform session (pictured), and students Sarah Obrycki '26, Junyi Wu '26 and Rosie Pantoja-Ramirez '27 presented posters.
