Shubha Govind

Dr. Govind's lab is interested in understanding mechanisms underlying hematopoietic cancer/inflammation using Drosophila molecular genetics. The lab is also identifying virulence factors produced by parasitic wasps that interfere with cellular immunity and inflammation in fly larvae.
