Cell
and Developmental Biology Research
Topics
covered: The combination of molecular
genetic technologies with other contemporary tools of biology, such
as electrophysiology, electron microscopy, immunochemistry and DNA
chip analysis has fueled dramatic advances in both cell and developmental
biology. Our laboratories use recombinant genetics, mutagenesis,
biochemistry, confocal and electron microscopy, tissue culture,
and transgenic organisms to work on models such as the nematode
Caenorhabditis elegans, the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster
and mammalian cells. Currently studied research questions encompass
gene regulation, cancer biology, neurosystem and reproductive system
development and function. Students at all levels are welcome to
get involved in this research, which will influence applications
in medical therapy, diagnostics and applied biotechnology.
