D’Juan Farmer is an Assistant Professor at the University of California, Los Angeles, in the Department of Molecular, Cell and Developmental Biology. His research focuses on the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying calvarial development and the genetic basis of craniosynostosis, a common congenital abnormality characterized by the premature fusion of cranial sutures, which can restrict brain growth. His laboratory employs various animal models, including mice and zebrafish, and utilizes advanced genomic and imaging technologies to decipher the complexities of calvarial bone growth. As part of his research, Professor Farmer investigates the roles of stem cells, fibrous joints, and various signaling pathways during embryonic and postnatal development. His work has implications for understanding developmental biology and potential therapeutic strategies for craniofacial conditions.
