Research summary

Sophie A. Fleck studies molecular and genetic mechanisms in the fruit fly Drosophila, with a focus on how a gene called estrogen-related receptor influences metabolism, DNA replication, and the maintenance of germline stem cells (the cells that produce eggs). Some work also addresses bacterial CRISPR immune systems and the proteins that regulate them. The research combines genetics, RNA sequencing, and biochemistry to understand how genes control cellular processes.
