研究领域

In my lab, research projects range widely, but are centered in the field of Developmental Biology. We often use the neuron as a tool to understand the embryo and its cellular and developmental mechanisms. Some of our projects use classical techniques such as embryonic surgery to discover basic phenomena, such how cell death controls development of entire muscle groups, or how chemical cues guide migrating cells. Some use unconventional systems such as old-world chameleons to understand how development is harnessed to generate different life forms in evolution. Some combine electron microscopy and cell biology to investigate how unconventional mechanisms such as mechanical force regulate axons. Some combine molecular interventions with time lapse digital recordings in cell culture to discover mechanisms crucial to growth and guidance of neural axons. Other interdisciplinary studies examine the regulation and actions of a new cell organelle we recently discovered.
