##master-date:Unknown-Date= #format wiki #language en Here are wiki pages for the major projects I am working on. This will serve as both a hyperlinked, dated electronic notebook and a rich, living document that will hopefully form the foundation for my dissertation. [[TableOfContents(3)]] == Projects Overview == Describes the directions of the projects and how they interact (or will eventually!) to form a cohesive research direction. == Research Tools and Models == === Automated Cardiac Measurement System === This page describes the design and implementation of various automation techniques applied to the measurement of heart function under controlled conditions (mainly hypoxia, also temperature control). === GAL4/UAS-RNAi System for Gene Knockdown in Adult Muscle === GFP and immunostaining to validate GAL4 drivers expressing in adult heart. Validation of RNAi knockdown with the UAS system to prove feasibility of large, tissue-specific RNAi screen of heart function === Constraint-based Model of Central Metabolism in Hypoxic Drosophila Myocytes === Here I describe construction of the metabolic network, integration of experimental data, and model validation. === Integrated Drosophila Molecular Interaction Network === == Systems Analysis of Hypoxic Drosophila Heart == Brings together the network models (metabolic and protein/gene interaction) with the data (metabolomic, microarray, heart phenotypes) for hypothesis generation. Systems analysis of the effects of genetic perturbations, aging, hypoxia adaptation, and drug combinations. === Aging === === Hypoxia-adapted flies === == Miscellaneous == === Fly ECG === Bioengineering Senior Design project === Heartbeat Reversal ===
