Lesley N. Weaver studies how different organs and hormones communicate to control reproduction in the fruit fly Drosophila, a widely used model organism. Much of the work focuses on oogenesis (egg production) and how nutrient-sensing tissues like fat cells, muscles, and hormone-signaling pathways regulate germline stem cells. The research combines molecular biology and genetics to map these physiological control systems.
