Developmental Biology

Tools for studying embryonic development, organogenesis, and morphogenesis across model organisms.

Overview

Developmental biology investigates the processes by which organisms grow and develop from fertilized egg to adult form.

Research Focus

• Embryonic development and gastrulation
• Organogenesis and pattern formation
• Morphogens and gradient signaling
• Hox genes and body plan establishment
• Model organisms (mouse, zebrafish, Xenopus, Drosophila)
