Mechanotransduction and morphogenesis
Our goal is to understand the dynamics and the roles of biological flow during the development of the zebrafish. In particular, we are interested in understanding the relationship between blood flow and tissue organization during cardiovascular development. We use live imaging, cell biology and genetics to characterize the physical stimuli and the molecular mechanisms that specify cell responses to flow forces during embryogenesis.
