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.

Additional Details

This is a free event hosted by the Fralin Biomedical Research Institute and co-sponsored by the institute's Center for Neurobiology Research.
