Description
Our lab is interested in understanding how early progenitor cells of the embryo make lineage choices between neural and mesodermal cell fate. We use mouse genetics, combined with in vitro ES cell differentiation into 2D neuromesodermal progenitors and 3D gastruloids, to understand gene networks and regulatory mechanisms that guide this process.
