Research Interest
My laboratory is interested in how interactions between early embryonic tissues control the growth and differentiation of the mouse epiblast. My current research focuses on the role two endoplasmic reticulum proteins, MESD (mesoderm development) and POFUT2 (Protein O-fucosyltransferase 2), that likely modulate activities of cell surface receptors and extra-cellular matrix composition during Epithelial to Mesenchymal Transition (EMT) in the gastrulating mouse embryo.
