STATEMENT OF RESEARCH INTERESTS
The research in the laboratory focuses on the Wnt family of secreted proteins, that act as ligands to activate receptor-mediated signal transduction pathways. The lab is interested in the functions of Wnts in both embryos and adults, the mechanisms by which Wnt signaling pathways work, and the investigation of diseases and potential therapies that involve Wnt pathways.
