(New!) Congratulations to former Buttitta Lab undergraduate Dilan Prasad on his acceptance to attend medical school at Temple University!
(New!) Congratulations to former Buttitta Lab student Emily Rozich on her new paper with the Insolera Lab at Wayne State! Emily is headed to U. Minn. for a PhD in Biomedical Engineering!
(New!) Congrats to Graduate Student Elli Buchert and postdoc Dr. Elizabeth Fogarty on their new paper published in the journal FLY! They have a working protocol for ATAC-Seq and Cut&Run in Drosophila pupal tissues. Now we have genome-wide molecular chromatin assays for many tissues and stages!
(New!) Look for our three posters at the Polyploidy 2023 meeting. One from Deena on polyploidy in the fly brain, one from Allison on endocycles in the Drosophila prostate and one from former lab member and meeting Co-organizer Shyama on the Polyploidy Atlas she built with our former student Emily.
(New!) Congrats to Former grad students Ajai and Kerry, former postdoc Kiki and former undergrads Emily & Ella on their Nup98 story being nominated for the Disease Models & Mechanisms 2022 paper prize!
(New!) Congratulations to second-year Buttitta Lab grad student, Navyashree Ramesh on passing her preliminary exam!
(New!) Congratulations to Buttitta Lab undergrad student, Joseph Dixon on completing his Bachelor’s degree and an Honor’s Thesis. Joe will continue onto grad school for PhD at Johns Hopkins U!

Here is a link to non-U.Michigan postdoctoral fellowships, compiled and maintained by Johns Hopkins U. This list has over 300 fellowship opportunities!
We have a new BioRxiv preprint available on endocycling in the Drosophila accessory gland (fruit fly prostate). Spoiler alert: we discovered that the cells are poised to endocycle in the adult gland in response to wounding or oncogenic signals!
