Research Interests:
My lab studies morphogenetic mechanisms that shape the initial limb bud and what early molecular events specify skeletal pattern. Our goals are to quantitatively model limb bud growth in 4D, and use what we learn to bioengineer a limb bud in a dish. We also identify mutations that cause human anomalies.
