Field of research: sensory transduction (photo-, mechano-, chemo-) in insects; biogenesis of the cell center and ciliogenesis in a Drosophila model; molecular evolution of regulatory peptides. Major achievements: participation in the complete revision of the then commonly accepted paradigm of phototransduction in microvillar photoreceptors by demonstrating that this process in Drosophila photoreceptors does not require […]
