Trudy F. C. Mackay is William Neal Reynolds Distinguished Professor of Genetics at North Carolina State University, and is a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and of the Royal Society. Her work focuses on the genetics of mutation and variation in Drosophila melanogaster and the analysis of complex morphological, physiological and behavioral traits. She has been particularly influential in advancing our understanding of the genetic causes of quantitative variation in populations, and is in the process of sequencing nearly 200 Drosophila genomes. In this talk she will discuss the first use of a systems genetics approach to understand complex traits in Drosophila.
