Research Field

Multicellular dynamics in morphogenesis and organogenesis

Research Interests

In our laboratory, we investigate the intricate processes of multicellular dynamics during embryogenesis. Specifically, we focus on understanding the mechanisms governing early embryogenesis, craniofacial and cardiac morphogenesis, and angiogenesis. Our investigation utilizes a diverse array of techniques including mouse genetics, experimental embryology of avian embryos, cellular dynamics imaging, single-cell analysis, and mathematical modeling. Additionally, we explore the mechanisms that underlie human diseases based in the context of developmental biology.
