Gillis lab is an interdisciplinary team of embryologists, physiologists, and engineers who share a common aspiration to understand the development and evolution of the vertebrate body plan. The lab works extensively with embryos of cartilaginous fishes, including shark, skate, and holocephalan species. Their research is comparative and incorporates a wide range of both emerging and established developmental model systems. Current research foci of Gillis lab include the development, growth, and repair of vertebrate cartilage, the evolution of neuroendocrine cell type diversity, and the development and evolution of venom glands.
