艾米·基格在她的职业生涯中一直专注于果蝇细胞生物学的这些和其他基本问题。她首先在洛克菲勒大学（The Rockefeller University）的一个实验室担任研究技术员，研究果蝇的昼夜节律，然后在斯坦福大学（Stanford）攻读研究生，研究果蝇的雄性生殖系干细胞生物学（1,2）。她在哈佛大学Norbert Perrimon实验室进行的关于果蝇细胞形态和生长的遗传基础的博士后研究产生了一些新的见解（3-5）。有了这些大规模全基因组筛选的结果，Kiger现在正在加州大学圣地亚哥分校（UCSD）独自开展研究，研究她最喜欢的模型系统——果蝇的细胞形状的遗传基础。她和我们讨论了她的工作所呈现的令人眼花缭乱的可能性。
Amy Kiger has focused on these and other fundamental questions of cell biology in Drosophila throughout her career. She first worked on circadian rhythm in Drosophila as a research technician in a laboratory at The Rockefeller University, then studied male germ line stem cell biology in flies as a graduate student at Stanford (1, 2). Her postdoctoral studies in Norbert Perrimon’s laboratory at Harvard on the genetic basis of cell morphology and growth in Drosophila have yielded several novel insights (3–5).With the results of these massive genome-wide screens (5), Kiger is now striking out on her own at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD), investigating the genetic basis for cell shape in her favorite model system—the fruit fly. She discussed with us the dizzying possibilities presented by her work.
