Mechanisms and consequences of programmed cell death (apoptosis) and compensatory proliferation in Drosophila

**Recipient:** University of Massachusetts Medical School, Worcester

**Award Amount:** $721,156.00
**Ceiling:** $721,156.00

**Awarded:** July 30, 2025

**Identifier:** 5R35GM118330-10

The project studies how apoptosis is regulated and how dying cells stimulate compensatory proliferation, with the goal of understanding normal tissue regeneration and cancer-related processes.

### Description

NIH research project investigating the genes and mechanisms that control apoptosis and initiate regenerative responses after stress- or injury-induced apoptosis, using Drosophila melanogaster.
