Andrew Gillis is an Associate Scientist at the Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL) with a focus on developmental biology, particularly in understanding the evolution and development of vertebrate body plans. His research interests encompass cartilage, embryology, neuroendocrine cells, and tissue engineering, with a particular emphasis on marine organisms like cartilaginous fishes. Through his lab, he investigates several key themes in developmental science including the repair and growth of vertebrate cartilage, the evolution of neuroendocrine cell types, and the developmental pathways leading to the formation of venom glands. Gillis's work employs a variety of model systems and comparative approaches to address critical questions in evolution and developmental processes. He is involved in interdisciplinary collaborations that integrate the fields of embryology, physiology, and engineering.
