'''Project:''' Signal transduction by GSK-3beta in craniofacial development<br>
'''Summary:''' Congenital malformations of the craniofacial skeleton are among the most frequent developmental anomalies affecting live births. Common defects can include cleft palate and premature or delayed fusion of cranial sutures (craniosynostosis and cleidocranial dysplasia, respectively). GSK-3β, a kinase implicated in a number of important signaling pathways, is required for proper development of the craniofacial skeleton, including the palate and skull vault. We will use genetic analysis and novel protein regulation techniques to study the roles of GSK-3β in skull formation. Understanding this requirement will shed light on signalling events involved in craniofacial development and thus illuminate the mechanistic causes of these birth defects.

'''Project:''' Using chemical tools to study Wnt signalling in neural development<br>
'''Summary:''' We are adapting a novel drug-dependent conditional system to the study of Wnt signalling. This project has two goals, first, to provide additional chemical tools for the study of Wnts and second, to use these tools to define the subcellular and temporal requirements of Wnts during patterning of the neurectoderm. We are developing tools in which activation of target proteins will be regulated temporally and spatially using small molecules specifically designed to have minimal off-target effects.

Project: Small molecule control of Wnt signal transduction
Summary: In this project, we have two broad goals: First, we are creating new alleles of β-catenin, using an approach called inducible stabilization. Second, we are exploiting reversible chemical control to study the genetic requirements of GSK-3 and β-catenin during neural crest migration. We hope that this project will provide a suite of broadly applicable tools for the study of Wnt signaling, as well as valuable insight into the mechanisms underlying neural crest migration.
