Protein Localization in class I & III neurons in Drosophila organisms

Katelyn Emily Rudisill, Philip Ratnasamy, Matthew Keegan and Maddie Zal

In the Rolls lab we look at protein localization in the model organism drosophila. Proteins have key roles within organisms and are vital for the survival of organisms. Without the proper proteins in the cell neurons lose their ability to properly function in the cell. By using different RNAi fly lines various proteins can be knocked down and the effects it has on the organism can be observed using different microscopy techniques.
