Biography

John Belote is a professor in Department of Biology at Syracuse University New York United States. He is currently working on Role of the ubiquitin/proteasome pathway in Drosophila development: spermatogenesis, mechanisms of sperm competition. His major research interests involve the genetic control of development and the molecular mechanisms of gene regulation using the fruitfly, Drosophila melanogaster, as an experimental organism to investigate these topics.
