APDRC6

At today's Drosophila online seminar I organize every month, we conducted a report on APDRC6's outcomes and hosted an award lecture by Mr. Hiraiwa. This event served as a platform for presenting the success and vitality of APDRC6 to the Japanese research community!

@FlyEyeLab Thank you for joining us, Justin! Very glad that you enjoyed the meeting. It was good to hear about the exciting work being done in your lab!

Had a wonderful time talking about the lab's research at the Asia Pacific Drosophila Research Conference in Cairns, Australia #APDRC6. Got to meet a lot of really new cool people and catch up with many old friends. See everyone in Taipei, Taiwan in 2025.

@sudiptatung @LabFly Thank you for joining us Sudipta! Glad you enjoyed the meeting

@apdrc6 was fun! Thanks to @LabFly and other organizers for making it a success.

Last week @mdmarber from #CABD gave a talk at Asian Pacific Drosophila Research Conference @apdrc6 at Cairns, Australia about the work of her group studying cell-ECM interactions and tissue folding! 🪰🧬🔬 @DrosAfrica @SEBiolDev @drosospain

Maria Martin-Bermudo presented her stunning work on cell-ECM interactions and tissue folding

So glad to be a part of the Asia Pacific #drosophila community and to be involved in #APDRC6 as a co-organiser. Thanks all for the feedback & q’s after my talk, I am v grateful for the ECR talk award 🙏

Kun Dou presented her lab’s elegant work on transposable elements in the oocyte

Beautiful talk by Sam Manning @schmanning on the biophysical properties of hippo pathway transcription factors Sd and Yki

Brooke Kinsela from @JCSMR, our first student speaker, presented lovely work on how the transcriptional regulator Cic functions in cortex glial niche to control neural stem cell fate @Quinn_Lab

A gorgeous talk by Justin Kumar @FlyEyeLab on how transcription factors control the cell fate decision governing compound eye vs ocelli
