The Aarhus Centre for Environmental Stress Research (ACES) is supported
by a center grant from the Danish Natural Science Research Council and
is headed by professor Volker Loeschcke from the Department of Ecology
and Genetics, University of Aarhus. The steering committee further includes
assoc. prof. and head of Institute Just Justesen and professor Niels Christian
Nielsen, both Institute of Molecular Biology, Aarhus University, senior
scientist Martin Holmstrup, Danish Environmental Research Institute, Dept.
of Terrestrial Ecology, Silkeborg, and Assoc. Professor Mogens Kruhøffer,
Skejby Hospital. The center intends to do interdisciplinary research on
the effects of environmental stress and the mechanism behind stress resistance,
using Drosophila as a model organism and combining approaches from evolutionary
genetics, eco-physiology, molecular biology to bio-informatics.
