The coordinated regulation of cell division and differentiation in the context of animal development.

Our research focuses on the coordinated regulation of cell division and differentiation in the context of animal development. Our goal is to obtain a deeper understanding, at the molecular and systems level, of the mechanisms that control two important developmental decisions:

  1. The decision to undergo either proliferative or asymmetric cell division.
  2. The choice between continued cell division and terminal differentiation.
