Research in this group focuses on the molecular processes underlying cellular function and embryonic development, including how disease disrupts these processes. A variety of genetically tractable model systems are employed, including yeast, C. elegans, Drosophila, maize, Arabidopsis, Xenopus, zebrafish, and rodents. Research clusters include:
