Biography

The lab's primary objective is to decipher molecular signals that orchestrate spatiotemporal cell activity, driving tissue morphogenesis in both normal and pathological development. To achieve this goal, model systems are employed. Early fruit fly embryos, specifically Drosophila Melanogaster, are used to investigate the role of cell divisions in early organ morphogenesis. Additionally, the research focuses on developmental cartilage in a mouse model, aiming to elucidate the molecular and mechanical signals that coordinate chondrocyte activity in a spatiotemporal manner, driving changes in 3D cartilage morphology during normal development and in human genetic skeletal disorders.
