Robert C. Eisman studies the molecular biology and genetics of the fruit fly Drosophila, a common model organism for understanding how cells and tissues develop. Recent work examines how proteins that store amino acids in fat cells (adipocytes) support the maintenance of germline stem cells, which give rise to eggs, in adult female flies. The research combines molecular biology, genetics, and cell biology to understand tissue and reproductive development.
