Andrew C. Zelhof studies the developmental biology and genetics of insects and other invertebrates, using fruit flies (Drosophila), flour beetles (Tribolium), and water fleas (Daphnia) as model organisms. A major focus is how specialized cells such as photoreceptors (light-sensing cells in the eye) develop and organize their structure, alongside building genetic tools like CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing and cultured cell lines for research. The work combines classical genetics with modern molecular and genome-editing techniques.
