We are interested in the molecular control of myogenesis. Skeletal muscle is the largest tissue in human body. Its formation requires the activation and expansion of muscle stem cells, and subsequent differentiation, fusion and maturation of their progenies. Understanding the mechanisms that drive these cellular events is not only essential to…
Mammalian developmental genetics: mechanisms that control tissue patterns during mammalian embryonic development; signaling pathways that function in cell fate specification; identification of novel regulators of Hedgehog signaling pathways in central nervous system
Our Mission:
Research in our laboratory integrates molecular, cell, developmental, genetic and genomic data to understand fundamental processes related to DNA packaging, transcriptional regulation and epigenetic inheritance in the context of early vertebrate development and disease.
Our Model:
We primarily use the zebrafish…
