Our laboratory focuses on the study of the basic principles regulating the shape and growth of the brain and the spinal cord during embryo development, as well as the mechanisms generating neuron diversity in the developing organ. We pay particular attention to studying the signalling pathways and cellular mechanisms that might explain congenital anatomical malformations such as microcephaly or spina bifida.
Keywords: Spinal cord development / morphogens in developmental neurobiology / gene regulatory networks for generation of cell diversity / control of cell division in neurogenesis / microcephaly
