9613759 Vigoreaux The PI plans to study the indirect flight muscles of many small insects (bees, wasps and most bugs). Projectin and flightin are among these indirect flight muscles that are characterized by their high power output required to sustain a fast wingbeat frequency necessary for flight. The PI's laboratory has been studying flightin with the goal of understanding its function in the insect stretch-activated indirect flight muscle. The PI will use molecular methods to further characterize this newly discovered protein and generate a genetic model.

小行星9613759 PI计划研究许多小昆虫（蜜蜂，黄蜂和大多数昆虫）的间接飞行肌肉。 投射和飞行是这些间接飞行肌肉中的一种，其特征在于它们的高功率输出，以维持飞行所需的快速翼振频率。 PI的实验室一直在研究flightin，目的是了解它在昆虫拉伸激活的间接飞行肌中的功能。 PI将使用分子方法进一步表征这种新发现的蛋白质并生成遗传模型。
