We are a research group in the Department of Biology at Howard University in Washington, D.C. Our works aims to discover fundamental biological principles of patterning and morphogenesis in developing animals. To do this we take an interdisciplinary approach - genetics, cell biology, development, modeling - and use the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster as our model organism.Â
The fall 2025 semester is about to begin! We are welcoming back 5 returning undergraduate researchers.
NEW PREPRINT posted to BioRxiv: in collaboration with a group in applied mathematics (Asante-Asamani group at Clarkson Univ.), we developed a clustering algorithm to identify different kinds of bristle patterns.
