Students from the Cabrera lab (from left to right: Jillian Feyler '27, Aaliyah Martinez-Ulloa '26, Arthur Langford '25 and Cynthia Brito '25) observe fruit fly ovaries using the Keyence microscope. The Cabrera lab studies how developmental genes are turned on or off to regulate embryonic development using fruit flies as a model organism.
