My lab is focused on the activity of an evolutionarily conserved battery of transcription factors that is collectively referred to as the retinal determination (RD) network.
Research Areas:
- Chromatin, Chromosomes, and Genome Integrity
- Developmental Mechanisms and Regulation in Eukaryotic Systems
- Eukaryotic Cell Biology, Cytoskeleton, and Signaling
My research group is focused on a number of questions (see individual lab member pages) that are central to understanding how tissues in general, and the eye in particular, are initially specified and then patterned.
Research:
- The Development of the Drosophila Eye
- Retinal Determination
- Compartment Boundary Establishment
- Pattern Formation
- Cell Fate Specification
- Ommatidial Rotation
- Cell Proliferation and Programmed Cell Death
Research Interests:
- Regulation of tissue/organ specification and patterning
Subject Areas:
- Molecular Life Sciences
- Biology.
