Drosophila Symposium

The Drosophila Symposium is an international gathering where scientists study fruit flies (Drosophila melanogaster) to understand genetics, development, and biology. Despite their small size, fruit flies are vital research models because they share many genes with humans. The symposium features presentations, discussions, and workshops to share new discoveries, techniques, and insights, fostering collaboration among researchers. It advances our understanding of life's fundamental processes and has implications for health, disease, and genetics, making it a key event in biological and medical research communities.
