His lab is particularly known for its development of [[genomics]] tools, studies of [[gene regulation]] and other genome-wide research, neuroanatomy, and neurogenetics.

He was one of the three scientific founders of [[Exelixis]] in 1994; the company's original business plan was to exploit genomic research in ''Drosophila'' and other model organism to discover [[biological target]]s that could be used in drug discovery.<ref>{{cite journal|last1=McCarthy|first1=Alice A.|title=Exelixis: Integrated Drug-Discovery and Development Platform for Human Therapeutics|journal=Chemistry & Biology|date=April 2005|volume=12|issue=4|pages=407–408|doi=10.1016/j.chembiol.2005.04.004|pmid=15850973|url=http://www.cell.com/cell-chemical-biology/pdf/S1074-5521(05)00097-9.pdf|doi-access=free}}</ref>
