STATEMENT OF RESEARCH INTERESTS
We study how genetics and the environment influence the cellular
mechanisms underlying craniofacial development. Craniofacial
morphogenesis requires the precise control of multiple cellular
processes, including cell movement, signaling, and differentiation.
Disruption of any one of the processes can result in craniofacial
disease, which is prevalent in humans. Our goal is to determine how
these varied cellular processes integrate during craniofacial
morphogenesis using the zebrafish as a model organism. Studies in the
lab utilize a variety of techniques including genetics, molecular
biology, and live imaging of embryos to finely dissect normal
craniofacial morphogenesis and help determine the causes of
craniofacial disease.
