The course will provide participants with a solid knowledgebase when starting or developing research projects using Drosophila as a model organism.
The course is ideally aimed at faculty, postdoctoral researchers, and graduate students who are currently working in a fly lab or those who have completed a PhD in another field and are moving into Drosophila for their postdoctoral studies. Participants may also be considered from other scientific backgrounds.
Course topics:
- Introduction to Drosophila
- Advanced genetic analysis
- Genomics
- Genetic screens and mosaic analysis
- Genome editing
- Recombineering and imaging
- RNAi and proteomics
- Gene regulation and development
- Immunology
- Neurogenetics
- Evolutionary genetics
- Ecological genetics
Bursary and application deadline: 15 April 2016
