Ophelia Tong received Summer Undergraduate Research Grant. Congratulations!

We reported (MicroPubl Biol.) on several features of how the male pheromone is sensed and processed in C. elegans hermaphrodites.

We reported (MicroPubl Biol.) on the role of ODR-1 in determining whether C. elegans pheromone blends are perceived as “male” or “hermaphrodite”.

In a Developmental Biology paper we describe fractional scaling of larval development in C. elegans.

Svetlana Dzitoyeva, Ph.D joined our group.

In a Current Biology paper we show that the reproductive system dynamically regulates adult-specific functions of the nervous system.

In a Current Biology paper we describe a serotonergic circuit that couples behavioral and physiological effects of a pheromone.

In a Nature Chemical Biology we report a new class of nematode pheromones. A great collaboration with Frank Schroeder’s group at Cornell.

Denis Faerberg joined our group from North Carolina State University.

Presented our latest results at the CSHL Meeting on Aging.
