Daniela Drummond-Barbosa is a Professor in the Department of Genetics at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Her research focuses on stem cell lineages, particularly in the context of Drosophila melanogaster, investigating how metabolic shifts are regulated during differentiation. Drummond-Barbosa's work has revealed a multi-organ network that involves insulin-like peptides signaling molecules vital for Drosophila germline stem cell lineage responses to physiological and environmental factors. Current questions in her lab explore the specific metabolic requirements for germline stem cell fate during oogenesis and how various diets and physiological factors affect these cells. She has contributed significantly to understanding how stress factors and climate impact reproduction in insects. Through her research, she aims to generate new insights into physiological and metabolic regulation across a range of organisms.
