Katie and Jacob presented their work at the European Drosophila Research Conference in Alicante - September 25th-28th 2025
EDRC 2025 Alicante Using a CaFe assay to assess mitochondrial function in olanzapine treated D.melanogaster. Katherine Mortimer 'The EDRC 2025 brought together researchers from a diverse range of disciplines with a shared interest in using Drosophila melanogaster as a biological model. For that reason, I thoroughly enjoyed the poster session. I had lots of interesting conversations pertaining to all areas of my poster, from specific methodology to a general interest in mitochondria. I found myself chatting to people for the whole 2-hour session and walking away with lots of useful insights and connections. ' Quantum Sensing of Mitochondrial Physiology in Response to a Hypomagnetic Field. Jacob Reed 'It was great to be surrounded by researchers from around the world at the 28th EDRC, all sharing a passion for Drosophila. I especially enjoyed the talks on metabolism and mitochondria, which led to insightful conversations on mito-nuclear DNA mismatch. Presentin...
