Although numerous eukaryotic genomes have been sequenced, much still remains to be understood about how the genes in those genomes are regulated. The...
My group is broadly interested in the evolution of transcriptional networks in animals. Whole genome sequence for a wide variety of organisms has shown us...
The step-by-step differentiation of embryonic cells into different types of neurons lays the foundation for our sensory responses, motor commands, and...
The human brain is a highly organized structure containing myriad axon tracts that follow precise pathways and make predictable connections, yet only a...
The focus of this laboratory is to understand the genetic basis of development of form – that is shape, size and proportion during vertebrate development...
Assistant Professor of Stem Cell & Regenerative Biology
Skin, the largest organ we have, protects us from insults and dehydration, and facilitates sensory perception and thermoregulation. These multifaceted... Read more about Ya-Chieh Hsu
Our lab is interested in the biologic basis of cardiac and vascular disease. In a multidisciplinary approach to these problems, involving group members who are... Read more about Calum Archibald MacRae
Max and Anne Wien Professor of Stem Cell and Regenerative Biology
Our laboratory is directed toward both 1) understanding molecular controls and mechanisms over neuron sub-type development, diversity, axon guidance-...
The Megason Lab uses imaging-based systems biology to elucidate the systems level principles of animal development. We are particularly interested in long...
Xander University Professor of Stem Cell and Regenerative Biology
Research in our laboratory focuses on the developmental biology of the pancreas. We wish to understand how the pancreas normally develops and use that... Read more about Douglas A. Melton
We are interested in epigenetic mechanisms that control cellular memory and genome stability in eukaryotes and use yeast and mammalian cells as model...
Our laboratory studies molecular control of development and cell differentiation using self-renewing epithelia in the digestive tract as a model system...
Shields Warren-Mallinckrodt Professor of Medical Research
My lab has pioneered various aspects of the microRNA field and continues to make important contributions to this aspect of post-transcriptional control of gene... Read more about Frank John Slack
Our lab is interested in identifying mechanisms that regulate the normal development and function of the human cerebral cortex. The cortex is the largest... Read more about Christopher A. Walsh
