RESEARCH INTEREST: Embryonic axis specification
Growth Factor Signaling in Xenopus
 Recent work has revealed that many of the genes involved in growth control, once misregulated, can cause tumor development. We are particularly interested in two sets of genes, the TGF-b related and Wnt growth factors.

Functional Genomics
Xenopus has served as a useful model system in which to investigate early vertebrate development.
