STATEMENT OF RESEARCH INTERESTS
A large variety of diseases, both inherited and acquired, affect muscle tissues in humans. In order to prevent and/or treat such disease, it is necessary to understand the pathology at the cellular and molecular level. Because each step of muscle specification and differentiation translates to a progressive refinement of functional physiology, studying muscle development may lead to therapeutic insights. The goal of our laboratory is to elucidate the signaling networks that underlie muscle morphogenesis.
