Amy Bejsovec is an Associate Professor in the Department of Biology at Duke University, where her laboratory investigates the molecular mechanisms of pattern formation in developing embryos. Her research focuses on the Wingless (Wg)/Wnt class of secreted growth factors, which play a crucial role in promoting cell-cell communication that leads to significant cell fate decisions in both vertebrate and invertebrate embryos. Furthermore, her work emphasizes the highly conserved pathways that are essential for maintaining stem cell populations, which are often inappropriately activated in various human cancers. Through her research, Bejsovec aims to elucidate the complexities of developmental biology and how it relates to both basic science and clinical implications.
