I was born and brought up in Switzerland. Undergraduate studies at the University of Zürich in Switzerland ('86-'90). PhD with Mariann Bienz mostly at MRC LMB in Cambridge, UK on homeotic genes (labial) in Drosophila midgut development ('91-'93). Short-term postdoc research with Mariann Bienz mostly at MRC LMB in Cambridge on wingless (wnt) signalling in Drosophila (1994). Post-doc research with Randall Moon in Seattle (USA) on Wnt8 in Xenopus mesoderm patterning ('95-'97). Short-term postdoc research with Enrique Amaya at Wellcome/CRC Institute in Cambridge on Xenopus transgenics (1997). Wellcome Trust Research Career Development Fellow and Lecturer at University of Dundee ('98-'03), investigating 1) The functional role of Wnt signalling during Xenopus organogenesis; and 2) Molecular mechanisms ensuring tissue-specific response to Wnt signalling. Senior Lecturer then Reader in Institute of Medical Sciences at University of Aberdeen (since 2003) investigating 1) Molecular Mechanisms of tissue-specific Wnt signalling in embryonic development and cancer, 2) Wnt Signalling in Xenopus Heart Development.

About the Project The student will use comparative genomics to investigate the evolution of Gene Regulatory Networks that control heart development. Now is the perfect time to benefit from the wealth of genomics (and transcriptomics) data that have become available, including from a representative range of vertebrates and related chordates. We will unearth the evolutionary […]
