Researchers in this Division investigate the mechanisms of differentiation in developing organisms, stem cells and adult tissues and how these are corrupted in disease states.
Our work combines classical embryology and genetic approaches with multi-scale systems analyses to understand gene regulation and function, including super-resolution/long term cell and tissue imaging, genome-wide analyses and mathematical modelling.
