Welcome to the New Digital Home of the Blumenthal Lab!

We are officially live! Explore our new website to follow our research on genetics, neurodegeneration, and life at the bench.

Welcome to our brand-new website! We are incredibly excited to officially launch this space as a hub for our research, our team, and the scientific community.

Whether you are a fellow researcher, a prospective student, or just curious about genetics and neurodegeneration, we built this site to bring you closer to the work we do every day at Marquette University.

What You’ll Find on Our New Site

We wanted our online home to be as dynamic as our lab. Here is a quick guide to what you can explore right now:

• Our Research: Dive into our work with Drosophila (fruit flies) as we investigate the drop-dead gene, epithelial development, and the mechanisms behind neurodegeneration.

• Meet Lab Personnel: Get to know the brilliant minds behind the science—from undergraduate researchers to graduate students and our PI, Dr. Ed Blumenthal.

• Join the Lab: Are you a student or postdoc looking to get hands-on research experience in a supportive, collaborative environment? Check out our career and rotation opportunities.

• This Blog (News & Highlights): Bookmark this page! This is where we will share real-time updates, from new publication announcements and conference presentations to lab celebrations, milestones, and everyday behind-the-scenes fun.
