We are broadly interested in understanding the form and function of somatosensory neurons in Drosophila, focusing on the following topics:

• Size control in Dendrites
• Compartmentalization of Dendrite Growth and Patterning
• Substrate control of Dendrite growth
• Dendrite-Substrate Interactions
• Diversity of somatosensory neurons
