Postdoctoral Researcher position with Andrea Münsterberg, UEA Norwich
Posted by Andrea Münsterberg, on 13 October 2015
Closing Date: 15 March 2021
Using chick embryos we recently identified BMP/Smad and Wnt/GSK3b signals as extrinsic cues that control the migration of prospective cardiac cells. We showed that BMP and Wnt pathways converge on a common effector: the transcription factor Smad1 (Song, McColl et al., PNAS 2014). We will use systematic approaches to determine the targets of BMP/Smad1 and Wnt/GSK3b signalling in early mesoderm cells. Identified candidate genes will be assessed for their function in controlling cell migration and fate choice.
