Developmental Genetics at the University of Nottingham
The Renault lab is interested in understanding how cellular behaviour is regulated during embryonic development. We use the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster as our model system and combine genetics, immunohistochemistry, confocal microscopy and live imaging.
Our focus is understanding how germ cells (the cells that give rise to sperm and eggs in the adult), the tracheal system (the airway of flies) and heart cells are influenced by lipid signals.
