Developmental signaling in Drosophila
Lecturer
Dr. Twombly received his Ph.D. in 1995 with William Gelbart at Harvard University, performed his postdoctoral studies with Connie L. Cepko at the Harvard Medical School and Gerard Campbell at the University of Pittsburgh, and joined the Department in
2005.
Currently, Dr. Twombly
is not accepting graduate students in his laboratory.
Dr. Twombly is
accepting undergraduate researchers, and does sponsor
students in other laboratories.
