Collaborative Research: OSIB: Uncovering drivers of infection resistance, survival, and to — NSF Award to Trustees of Boston Unive
Individuals can vary greatly in their response to the same infection. This variation can be caused by many factors, including genetics, life experiences, and environmental conditions. By using fruit flies (Drosophila) as a model, researchers can control for many of these factors, allowing them to focus on the roles of

| Abstract | Individuals can vary greatly in their response to the same infection. This variation can be caused by many factors, including genetics, life experiences, and environmental conditions. By using fruit flies (Drosophila) as a model, researchers can control for many of these factors, allowing them to focus on the roles of genetics and other factors in infection outcomes. However, due to technical limitations, traditional infection studies typically rely on measurements of the infection progression a |
