Tony Dornan
Lab manager (joint with Dow/Davies/Sanz labs),
imaging guru.
I’m the lab manager, with extensive experience in fly genetics and imaging, probably at my happiest in a dark room with a nice fluorescent dissection on the confocal. I did my PhD and BSc here at the University of Glasgow. Down the years I have worked in Julian Dow & Shireen Davies’ lab, as well as the labs of Kim Kaiser, Jane Davies, and Stephen Goodwin. I now helm multiple groups working with Drosophila.
I spend a lot of my time running the labs, but I still find time for research projects. Currently, I am developing new imaging methodologies, with the goal of spatially mapping transcriptional reporters in vivo in whole Drosophila.
