The Cell and Developmental Biology (CELL) research group focuses on how cells integrate signals and develop into complex multicellular organisms and tissues.
Our goal is to understand the mechanisms that direct cellular function and interactions during development and to determine how these interactions may be disturbed in a wide range of diseases.
