Marc Dionne's research focuses on innate immunity, utilizing the fruit-fly Drosophila melanogaster as a model organism to explore the effects of host genotype on phenotype in the context of bacterial infections. Drosophila presents numerous advantages for this work, including small size, cost-effectiveness, rapid generation time, and the ability to identify genes that influence infection susceptibility without prior bias. His investigations delve into the physiological changes that occur in response to infections and the implications for immune function and survival. His current projects emphasize the mechanisms connecting immune responses to systemic physiological regulation, as well as the impacts of specific bacterial pathogens on cellular and organismal physiology. His research is funded by organizations including Wellcome Trust, Leverhulme Trust, Medical Research Council, and Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council. He welcomes inquiries from potential postdoctoral researchers and PhD students to join his lab.
