RESEARCH INTEREST: Cell signaling; Extracellular matrix

My lab is interested in how cells communicate with each other to coordinate the complex behaviors that underlie development and regeneration. Our research focuses on this problem at several levels, from investigating growth factor signaling, to elucidating extracellular matrix structure and function, to understanding the workings of neuronal guidance molecules. Our work touches on the fields of Cell Biology, Developmental Biology, Neurobiology and Cancer Biology. We employ a range of techniques from cell culture, to binding studies, to in vitro mutagenesis, to the generation and analysis of transgenic and "knockout" mice.
