Findlay Science Team

Drosophila Evolutionary and Reproductive Genetics

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 Allied Genetics Conference in March 2024 in Washington, DC. Pictured are lab seniors (front row, l to r) Emily Gualdino, Kerry McDermott, Brenna McCormick, (back row, l to r) Ishanpepe Jagusah and Alex Thurber. Lexis Grandel from Prof. Alexis Hill's lab (back, center) attended the meeting, as well. All of the Holy Cross students presented posters on their research!
