International Drosophila Research Conference

The International Drosophila Research Conference is a global gathering where scientists study fruit flies (Drosophila) to understand genetics, development, and disease. Fruit flies are valuable because they share many biological similarities with humans and are easy to work with in the lab. The conference features presentations, discussions, and collaborations among researchers to share discoveries, techniques, and advances in the field. These insights help improve our understanding of basic biology and can inform medical research, including treatments for genetic and neurological disorders. Overall, it promotes progress in science through knowledge exchange and networking.
