Developmental and Neurobiology

Members of the Developmental and Neurobiology subgroup investigate how cellular and environmental information is processed and integrated within a multicellular context to pattern the cells and tissues of an organism, and to control behavior. Research utilizes genomic, imaging and physiological approaches to understand animal and plant model systems.
