Joshua Dubnau
Principal Investigator
   

  Dr. Josh Dubnau received his PhD in 1995 from Columbia University, Dept. of Genetics and Development. He then did post-doctoral research at Cold Spring Harbor Lab with Prof. Tim Tully and then started his own research group at CSHL in 2002. In 2016, Dr. Dubnau moved his group to Stony Brook, where he is now a Professor in the Anesthesiology Department with a joint appointment in the Department of Neurobiology and Behavior. Dr. Dubnau's PhD work, postdoctoral work, and most of the work in his lab make use of fruit flies as a model organism. When Dr. Dubnau was an undergraduate, he worked on pheromone perception in the gypsy moth. And as a child, he often played with ants. So a common theme in Dr. Dubnau's life and training has been bugs.
