Pioneers in Biomedical Research Seminar: Cis-regulatory Control of Neural Crest Development
Date: April 28, 2023
Time: 11 a.m. - 12 p.m.
About this Seminar
Multicellular organisms are formed by a large number of cell types, which serve as the components of tissues and organs. The Simoes-Costa Lab studies how cellular diversity arises during vertebrate embryonic development. The lab employs functional genomics to decode the molecular programs that drive changes in cell identity. Dr. Simoes-Costa's research group is particularly interested on how genetic networks operate in space to generate complex arrangement of cells.
