Developmental and Regenerative Biology

The Department of Developmental & Regenerative Biology explores the events governing the development, patterning and regeneration of cells and organs. The main areas of research are focused on developmental signaling pathways, cell death, organogenesis, fertilization, stem cells, and cancer models. The study of biological mechanisms through a broad and multi-tiered approach reveals unifying principles of biological development, structure, and function with exquisite clarity, and provides important links to medical disorders and therapeutic potential.
