The last (but not least) featured keynote speaker is Wei Zhang from Peking-Tsinghua Center for Life Sciences. Her research focuses on integrating experimental and computational approaches to investigate evolutionary innovation and functional diversification at the levels of micro and macroevolution.

Here is the full programme (edrc2025alicante.com/program/), including times and room allocation. We look forward to seeing you in Alicante in two months' time! @fly-eds.bsky.social @drosospain.bsky.social

The event will begin with various workshops, information about which can also be found here. See you in Alicante in two months! @neuroalc.bsky.social @biologists.bsky.social @embo.org @elife.bsky.social

Another keynote speaker at #EDRC2025 is @mcgambetta.bsky.social from the Center for Integrative Genomics in Lausanne. Her research group is interested in the mechanisms of gene regulation, using #Drosophila as a model. Looking forward to her talk!

We have the honour of having Silke Sachse as one of our keynote speakers at #EDRC2025 . Silke leads a research group at the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Ecology in Jena @maxplanck.de studying the neural mechanisms that enable animals to encode and interpret diverse odors that drive behavior.

Congratulations to the winner of the #EDS best PhD thesis prize Jack Holcombe, for his work "Dissecting Stress Resilience Mechanisms During Epithelial Homeostasis and Repair” conducted in the lab of Helen Weavers at the University of Bristol europeandrosophilasociety.org/eds-best-phd...

Congratulations to @jackholcombe.bsky.social for his #EDS best PhD thesis award! Jack will give a plenary talk at #EDRC2025

A keynote speaker at #EDRC2025 Ruben Artero is a Full Professor of #Genetics at the University of Valencia. His research focuses on the genetic mechanisms of muscular dystrophies. As a co-founder of Arthex Biotech, he is committed to drug discovery and the development of RNA-based therapies

#Drosophila @flybase.bsky.social requires emergency funding:
"As it stands, by the end of July, 2025, there will be no future updates to #FlyBase, and in the worst case scenario access to the website will also be lost". Please help if you can!
