About
Daniela Drummond-Barbosa is a Professor of Genetics at the University of Wisconsin–Madison and an Investigator at the Morgridge Institute for Research. Her research focuses on how stem cell lineages are regulated by physiology and metabolism in Drosophila melanogaster. Her work investigates the intrinsic metabolic shifts that occur during stem cell differentiation and how these cells respond to physiological and environmental factors, including diet, obesity, and stress such as high temperature. Her research has revealed a multi-organ network involving insulin-like peptides and signaling molecules that regulate germline stem cell lineages in response to organismal physiology. Drummond-Barbosa's work addresses fundamental questions about the metabolic and physiological regulation of stem cell lineages and oogenesis, with implications for understanding reproductive biology and the impact of environmental stressors on insect reproduction.
