Research Focus

We use genetic, molecular and direct imaging methods to study the finely coordinated cell behaviors giving rise to structure and form in developing embryos. Our main model system is the ascidian 1xbet online sports betting . Ascidian (sea squirt) embryos have conserved chordate features including a notochord and a hollow dorsal neural tube, but in the context of an embryo that is much smaller and simpler than vertebrate embryos. This provides an unusual ability to study chordate morphogenesis with fine subcellular detail while simultaneously having a broad, embryo-wide field of view.

We are particularly interested in the morphogenesis of the notochord, as it is one of the defining features of the chordate body plan, it is the first organ to form, and it undergoes complex cell movements and shape changes that are relevant to many developing tissues and organs. In addition to the tools of traditional developmental 1xbet online sports betting , we also make extensive use of computational image analysis methods to extract quantitative information from large multidimensional images of developing embryos.
