Main interest of the laboratory:

Molecular Biology of Vertebrate Gastrulation

 

During early vertebrate development, coordinated movements of

groups of cells lead to the formation of the three germ layers,

the ectoderm, the mesoderm and the endoderm. This process is called

gastrulation, and by the end of it the main regions of the embryo

– head, trunk and tail – become determined. Our work is aimed

at identifying the genetic mechanisms that direct the formation

of the body plan in frog or mouse embryos.
