The fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, has made major contributions to science and medicine over the past ~120 years, recognized by 6 Nobel Prizes in Physiology or Medicine among other awards.

​

The Yamamoto lab at Baylor College of Medicine (BCM) is pushing the limits of Drosophila research in biomedical sciences by applying the state-of-the-art technology to tackle medically relevant questions.

​

We are engaged in numerous collaborative projects with clinicians, biologists, and bioinformaticians. 

These local, national and international collaborations facilitate our creatively and productivity.
