Biography

Captivated by natural history from an early age, Andrew Bendall's professional interest in biology was first kindled as an undergraduate in Australia's bush capital, taking upper level courses in biochemistry, molecular biology, and zoology. He pursued his Ph.D. training at the CSIRO Laboratory of Biomolecular Engineering in Sydney, focusing on the transcriptional control of eukaryotic gene expression, especially the DNA binding specificity of mammalian transcription factors. After relocating to the United States, he applied his knowledge of gene regulatory mechanisms to the vertebrate embryo, developing strategies to study gene expression regulation and tissue patterning during development. His laboratory uses experimental strategies, including in vivo approaches in chicken embryos, to investigate the molecular mechanisms of animal development.
