Hana Hall studies how gene expression changes as neurons and photoreceptors (light-sensing cells in the eye) age, using the fruit fly Drosophila as a model organism. Her recent work focuses on R-loops (structures formed when RNA binds back to DNA during transcription) and how they contribute to genomic stress in aging and Alzheimer's disease, as well as how circadian clock genes protect the eye from age-related degeneration and oxidative stress.
