Heinrich Dircksen Professor Emeritus

I am interested in neuropeptides and endocrine regulations in insects and crustaceans. Especially in Drosophila melanogaster and Daphnia species, I am studying anatomy, molecular/genomic biology, biochemistry and physiology of their (neuro)endocrine systems.

See e.g. project: Neuropeptides and endocrine regulations in the water flea Daphnia
