Cell and Developmental Biology

The silent language of epithelial cells, and how deciphering it could explain cancer.

The Dynamics of Morphogenesis Lab is focused on understanding the dynamic mechanisms controlling tissue formation and cell fate determination in vivo

Instead of using antibiotics, which bacteria can rapidly evolve resistance to, our goal is to defeat specific pathogens by using the bodies own defence system.

We are discovering new genes, proteins and cellular pathways that help us understand how inflammation is turned on and off in immune cells

During injury or infection, our body’s immune system protects us by launching inflammation.

We aim to discover what causes vessels to grow abnormally and leak in diseases such as diabetes, cancer and atherosclerosis

Our research addresses an issue of critical importance targeting the understanding of the consequence of circadian disruption on health and disease

The study of protein structures, using methods including X-ray crystallography, cryo electron microscopy (cryoEM), and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR).
