STATEMENT OF RESEARCH INTERESTS
Our research group is interested in study different aspects of zebrafish development. We are investigating the phenotype of insertional mutants for the vps18 and limp2 genes. We are also studying epidermis development, in particular aspects of polarity, proliferation and apoptosis.
