Grant Activity:

Using Drosophila to analyse a master regulator of epithelial homeostasis

Purpose:

Aims: This proposal aims to use genetic and cell biological analysis of the vinegar fly, Drosophila, to identify the function of the grainyhead gene in intestinal regeneration. Significance: This gene is conserved in all animal species and appears to be a master regulator of epithelial tissue development but it is unclear how it can both influence stem cell maintenance and production of functional cell types. Expected outcomes: We will identify a new mechanism that governs tissue development, and introduce new imaging and genetic technologies to the Australian research community. Benefit: We expect potential economic and commercial interest in development of new gene analysis tools and biotechnological tissue manipulation applications.
