Our long-term goal is to identify molecular mechanisms of Hippo mediated growth regulation during normal development and in diseases like cancer.
Hippo pathway and Regulation of growth
Find new components (genes) of the Hippo pathway in Drosophila
Study how previously described genes regulate growth via the Hippo pathway
2. Hippo pathway and Cell death
Regulation of Drosophila Caspases (e.g., dronc) by the Hippo pathway
3. Hippo pathway and Cancer
Study interactors of Hippo pathway effector Yki in Drosophila cancer models
