Marissa Gredler is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Molecular & Cellular Biology at Harvard University. Her research focuses on embryonic development and the cellular mechanisms of epithelial formation in live mammalian embryos. The Gredler lab investigates how cells coordinate their behaviors to achieve complex tissue shapes and physiological functions. They explore how the absence of this coordination can lead to structural birth defects and tumorigenesis. Using live imaging techniques, Gredler's team employs multi-scale approaches at both the subcellular and organismal levels to address the molecular and cellular mechanisms involved in morphogenesis. Through her innovative research, she aims to enhance our understanding of how local cell interactions orchestrate global tissue patterns during development.
