Brief description Cell death is essential for sculpting tissues and organs in developing foetus and deregulated cell death results in many diseases. To treat disorders that result from aberrant cell death, we need to understand the control of cell death during development. We will use a vinegar fly model to study cell death modalities in development. By doing this we hope to uncover new knowledge important for human biology and identify new molecules that may be important for understanding and treating disease.
