Biography

Victoria Prince is a Professor at the University of Chicago, specializing in vertebrate axial regionalization during development. She primarily utilizes zebrafish as a model organism to explore various aspects of developmental biology. Her research group employs a variety of molecular, cellular, and genetic comparative approaches, contributing significantly to our understanding of Hox gene regulation in hindbrain patterning, the evolution of gene duplication in vertebrates, and the patterning of endoderm-derived tissues. Active research areas in her lab encompass neural crest specification, anterior lateral line development, and understanding collective cell migration mechanisms within the developing zebrafish pronephros.
