STATEMENT OF RESEARCH INTERESTS
My primary research foci are on cell-ECM interactions, their regulation, and how these give rise to macroscopic structure during embryonic development. In particular, I am investigating the roles of the matrix metalloproteinases and their regulators in the context of zebrafish embryogenesis.
