I am Carlos Oliva. I studied Biochemistry in the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile. Now I am
in the Biomedical Science PhD program in the Faculty of Medicine of Universidad de Chile. My subject
of interest is neurobiology, specifically the mechanisms involved in the axon growth and guidance
during the development of neuron system. In my lab we use the fly Drosophila melanogaster, because
it is powerful genetic model and we use it for discover new genes involved in the neuron
development. When I will finish my thesis I would like to do a postdoc in a laboratory abroad for
get more experience in the use of Drosophila in the study human diseases.

Carlos,
ResponderEliminarI assume that the application of the Drosophila Melanogaster genetic model is very powerful in that it can be extrapolated to humans with high levels of confidence. But, since I know nothing about the neurological system it will be a great learning experience to read and discuss your abstract.
See you on Friday,
Claudia
