Research interests
Our research aims to elucidate how cells alter their fates between normal or disease conditions. To address this, we model regeneration and tumorigenesis using Drosophila gonads. We use a combination of fly genetics with various imaging techniques, including immunofluorescence, single molecule RNA fluorescent in situ hybridization, OligoPaint DNA FISH, and whole-mount tissue live-imaging by superresolution microscopy. Owing to the simple anatomy and abundant genetically encoded imaging tools, this system allows us to demonstrate previously unrecognized regulatory mechanisms with an unprecedented resolution.
