Welcome!
Our long-term goal is to elucidate how gene regulatory networks (GRNs) control the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying developmental cell behavior during embryogenesis. To this aim, our lab will study the transcriptional control of cellular processes underlying precardiac mesoderm cell migration in ascidian embryos.
Ascidian embryos provide an attractive model system to study these questions, thanks to their relative simplicity, ease of manipulations (see for example the beginner's guide to ascidian developmental biology) and extensive resources available through user-friendly web interfaces.
