Dr. Kim Mulligan shares her research utilizing drosophila melanogaster (a species of fly) to identify chemicals that confer risk of neurodevelopmental disorders. The long-term goal of her research is to identify and characterize gene-environment interactions that affect neurodevelopment using drosophila melanogaster as a model. Dr. Mulligan teaches and conducts research at California State University, Sacramento.
