Research Interests:
Our laboratory is interested in the molecular genetics of early vertebrate
embryogenesis, particularly in
the development of the nervous system. We employ the amphibian Xenopus as the model organism for our
research. Specific research interests include:
- Specification and
patterning of the early nervous system
- Mechanisms
underlying the plasticity of the developing nervous system
- Determination of GABAergic and glutamatergic
neural phenotypes
- The role of hypoxia
in neural and vascular development
- In vivo imaging in
small animals (collaborative project)
