My research group uses a quantitative, physics-inspired approach to study problems in developmental biology, focusing on C. elegans. The aim of the research is to elucidate how living organisms build their bodies during development in a robust manner....
My lab investigates how neural representation and processing of environmental cues via gene expression orchestrates development and physiology using a systems biology approach. We combine molecular genetics, high-throughput imaging and computational analysis in C. elegans to discern how neuroendocrine circuit respond and integrate environmental information to modulate development, longevity and other aspects of physiology....
