Welcome Aki, Alexis, Sarah and Nick!

Four people have joined the lab over the past year. Dr. Aki Yamamoto has for many years studied Drosophila melanogaster genetics. He is working on D. suzukii projects, including male-only strains. Alexis Kriete and  Sarah Hudadoff recently completed the first year of the Entomology and Genetics PhD programs respectively. Alexis will work on the screwworm male-only project while Sarah plans to develop X-shredder strains in Lucilia cuprina. Most recently Nicholas Pistacchio joined the lab to maintain transgenic Lucilia lines and support the screwworm male-only project. Welcome all!
