I am currently doing a phD thesis on the physiology of gustatory receptors in Drosophila melanogaster using electrophysiological and genetical approaches. I am a student from the Kyushu university at Fukuoka (Japan) and my tutor is Professor Teiichi Tanimura. I have obtained a grant from the french government to work in the laboratory of Professor Marion-Poll until October 2005.
