Meet Zandawala
@zandawala.bsky.social
Assistant Professor (University of Nevada Reno)
Group leader (University of Würzburg)
Interested in neuromodulation of Drosophila physiology and behavior
Why it matters: Understanding how a neurohormonal circuit bridges environmental stress (e.g., dehydration) with metabolism and renal physiology has broad implications not just for insect neuroendocrinology but for comparative #physiology.

@tmckim.bsky.social in Biology at UNR performed connectomic analyses to map upstream hygrosensory inputs to ITP neurons.

Omar lab at UNR came in to help during the revisions and showed that ITPa activates Gyc76C in mammalian HEK cells.

Paluzzi lab at York University showed that ITPa inhibits ex vivo fluid secretion by renal tubules via Gyc76C.

We are pleased to report publication of the Drosophila circadian clock connectome in @naturecomms.bsky.social. Check out the final version for additional analyses not present in the preprint. @unrcabnr.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...

"Guten Rutsch" or have a good slide into the new year. With the lab flooded, we can do this literally. Things can only get better from here!

Excited to share the lab's first Drosophila preprint shorturl.at/gqrvO where we present the complete neural connectome of an animal circadian clock.
