Faculty Labs
Scientists in the division study the basic cellular and molecular mechanisms of development with the aim of uncovering the bases of human birth defects. Different model systems are used including the mouse, fruit fly, frog, chicken and zebrafish. Many different technologies are used including molecular genetics, genomics, structural analysis, experimental embryology, cell culture, high-resolution microscopic imaging and biochemistry. These technologies are applied to a wide range of developmental events including early development (which includes the initial establishment of the body pattern), as well as the development of individual organs.
