AIMRC Seminar on Interorgan Communication in Drosophila | University of Arkansas - University of Arkansas Newswire

The Arkansas Integrative Metabolic Research Center (AIMRC) volition big Norbert Perrimon, the James Stillman Professor of Developmental Biology, Department of Genetics, Harvard Medical School, astatine 11 a.m. Wednesday, Nov. 30, via Zoom, erstwhile Perrimon volition picture the assorted hormonal systems that organs usage to pass and modulate physiology.  

During this AIMRC seminar, Perrimon volition sermon his efforts astatine dissecting the molecular mechanisms underlying the connection betwixt organs successful Drosophila, with the extremity of describing the assorted hormonal systems that organs usage to pass and modulate physiology. 

Perrimon is the James Stillman Professor of Developmental Biology in the Department of Genetics astatine Harvard Medical School, an researcher of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute and an subordinate associate of the Broad Institute. He is simply a geneticist recognized for his enactment successful awesome transduction and the improvement of functional genomics methods. 

He is known peculiarly for the characterization of canonical signaling pathways and the improvement of methods, specified arsenic the FLP-FRT Dominant Female Sterile method to make germline mosaics, the Gal4-UAS method to power cistron look some spatially and temporally, and high-throughput RNAi screening. Perrimon was calved successful France successful 1958 and became a U.S. national successful 2005.
