Here we integrate empirical and quantitative approaches to investigate how different environmental factors interact with organismal genotypes to shape diverse individual phenotypes and population abundance patterns, and differential vulnerability to diseases.

Pi parade and lab upgrade in the new year 2022!
We have added a battery of Raspberry Pis to our lab. They are currently monitoring the temperature, humidity, and power cuts in the lab and inside our fly incubators 24x7. They are being programmed to send SOS alerts through email and SMS, so that we and our flies can sleep peacefully.
A few Pis and sensors are at the disposal of the lab members for trying out. Find some pics here.
