Social interactions occur within groups. For example, feeding, fighting, and reproductive behaviours often occur at a time and place for gathering. Studies on a diverse set of species have shown that such group dynamics occur in species-specific patterns. But so far, these patterns are determined by unknown mechanisms. There is increasing evidence that social networks display features that rely on innate mechanisms. Dr. Levine has taken an innovative approach to studying social interactions in Drosophila. As a Tier I Canada Research Chair, his lab will identify and characterize cell and molecular mechanisms that underlie innate patterns of social interaction.

社会互动发生在群体内部。例如，进食、打斗和生殖行为往往发生在聚集的时间和地点。对一组不同物种的研究表明，这种群体动态发生在物种特有的模式。 但到目前为止，这些模式是由未知机制决定的。越来越多的证据表明，社交网络显示出依赖于先天机制的特征。莱文博士采用了一种创新的方法来研究果蝇的社会互动。作为一级加拿大研究主席，他的实验室将识别和表征社会互动的先天模式的细胞和分子机制。
