Chromatin Club
The members of the Chromatin and Transcription Journal Club are from departments across campus. Students, faculty and research associates meet twice monthly to discuss current literature covering topics relevant to chromatin structure and function, gene regulation and transcription mechanisms.
Meetings will be held on the first and third Mondays of the month from 4 to 5 p.m., room 1167 in the Biological Sciences Building.

Evolution interest group
Professor research interests
Thomas Dowling
Understanding genetic variation within and among natural populations and providing valuable information for the management of various species facing extinction.
Chuanzhu Fan
Integration of theoretical, computational, and high-throughput experimental approaches to determine and predict how the genome/epigenome gives rise to the phenotype.
Markus Friedrich
Molecular evolution of insect vision genes and understand how the genetic regulation of eye development in Tribolium and Drosophila.
Edward Golenberg
Elucidation of plant developmental evolution, sex determination and sexual dimorphism utilizing cultivated spinach as a model organism.
Weilong Hao
Alternation of genome architecture and associated functional consequences in prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms.
Glen Hood
Evolutionary ecology of multitrophic interactions with an emphasis on the processes that promote and constrain the evolution of new biological species and the genomic patterns that result as a consequence.
Aleksandar Popadić
Developmental and genetic mechanism governing insect morphological changes in nature.
-
Fly Club
We are a diverse group of researchers that share a love of Drosophila. Detroit Area Fly Club welcomes new members, as well as faculty and students studying other model organisms. Our current members hail from Wayne State University, University of Windsor, University of Detroit Mercy and Oakland University.
Research talks are held on the second and third Mondays of each month from 4 – 5 p.m. in room 1167, Biological Sciences Building at Wayne State University.
