My laboratory is using the
model organism Drosophila melanogaster to analyze various aspects
of BMP signaling during development. Our research interests include:
 |
establishment of cis-acting elements that mediate transcriptional
responses to BMP signaling |
 |
identification of transcriptional targets of the BMP signaling
pathway |
 |
identification of regulators and modifiers of the signaling
pathway |
 |
cross-talk of the BMP-signaling pathway with other signaling
pathways during development |
We use a combination of molecular, genetic, biochemical and bioinformatic
approaches to address these questions.
