Exciting news: launching the Birmingham Centre for Neurogenetics, with Stephane De Brito & Daniel Fulton! Now welcoming worldwide applicants at all career stages to our centre at the University of Birmingham. Get in touch!

Neurofly is a biennial conference on Drosophila neuro research that rotates across european countries. Frist one in Germany in 1986, was in Birmingham in 2024 and can't wait to attend Neurofly2026 in Köln, Germany. Neurofly lives on, run by the community for the community!
