Research projects

My research projects deal with to complementary subjects. On the one hand, I study the chemical compounds involved in food attraction in Drosophila, using a wind-tunnel bioassay. On the other hand, I investigate the role of volatiles (pheromones in combination with food odours) in sexual communication in this species.
