Developmental Biology

During development, cells divide and differentiate ultimately giving rise to the complex set of tissues that comprise the adult organism. This is a highly regulated process that when not properly executed can lead to diseases, such as cancer, and to birth defects. Our faculty exploit a variety of model organisms and cell-based systems to answer fundamental questions about the mechanisms of development and apply this knowledge to understanding disease pathologies.
