Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Amy R. Poe investigates fundamental biological processes using *Drosophila melanogaster* as a model organism. Her research focuses on understanding the genetic and molecular mechanisms underlying neuronal development, specifically dendrite formation and maintenance, and the emergence of circadian rhythms and their role in memory. Poe has explored how specific genes, such as FoxO and Neurofibromin 1, influence dendrite growth and early developmental sleep patterns in flies. Her work also examines the relationship between nutrient restriction and neuronal health, and the role of phosphatidylserine externalization in neurite degeneration. Poe has published research on CRISPR/Cas9-mediated mutagenesis for tissue-specific gene editing in *Drosophila*. Her scholarship metrics include an h-index of 8, with 30 total publications and 479 total citations.
