About the Lab<\/span><\/h2>\n

The Drewell laboratory is in the Biology Departmen<\/a>t at Clark University<\/a> in Worcester, Massachusetts. We are located in Room 325 in the Lasry Center for Bioscience<\/a> on the Clark campus. Our lab applies experimental molecular genomic, epigenetic and computational approaches to investigate the regulation of gene expression during embryonic development. Much of our work is focused on using insect model species, including the fruit fly and honey bee. This website contains descriptions of our research projects, links to our publications and an introduction to the lab members.\"\"<\/p>\n
