Welcome
In our lab, we are interested in studying the fundamental properties of tissue patterning in order to apply our knowledge to medicine, stem cell biology, and tissue engineering. We use the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, as a model organism. We are interested in the mechanisms of formation and control of gene expression patterns in Drosophila development, and in animal development in general. We are most interested in systems-level properties of the patterns, such as fine-tuning, robustness, and size-dependent properties. We use fruit fly genetics, computational and theoretical modeling, and imaging of live and fixed tissues to approach these problems. Read more...

16 Aug 2010 - Job posting for undergraduate research
I am currently looking for an undergraduate researcher to help set up my lab and continue working through the Spring 2011 and perhaps into the next year.
Start date for Dr Reeves changed to August 2010
I spoke with the department and together we decided to push my start date back to August of 2010. I will then be recruiting students and/or postdocs to begin that fall semester.
