Research

A major interest of our Laboratory is to understand the genetic programs and molecular mechanisms that convert pluripotent stem cells of the vertebrate embryo into differentiated cell types. Our model organism is the zebrafish.

 In our research we employ molecular biological, genetic, bioinformatic and live-cell imaging approaches.
