68th Annual Drosophila Research Conference

The annual meeting of the Drosophila research community presents more than 1,000 talks and posters spanning genetics, molecular and cell biology, development, immunology, physiology, neuroscience and evolution in the fruit fly. Invited plenary sessions and abstract-driven platform sessions are joined by attendee-organised workshops and professional-development events. Norbert Perrimon (Harvard Medical School, Howard Hughes Medical Institute), whose laboratory developed many approaches for studying gene function in Drosophila, gives the keynote.
