Borders and communities: solving old puzzles with new tools

Posted by , on 10 May 2018

An important question in developmental biology is how regions with distinct identity are established despite the intermingling of cells that occurs during growth and morphogenesis. Our recent work revisited some ...

The dorsal root of the matter: Using zebrafish to study the importance of movement on early brain growth

Posted by , on 8 May 2018

In our recent paper published in eLife, we found a novel form of movement-dependent neural feedback that drives early forebrain growth in zebrafish. In this article, I discuss the problems, ...

How does it Work? My Experience with 3 Different Model Systems

Posted by , on 5 February 2018

For both young and established developmental biologists considering their next career move, choosing a model system with which to answer one’s research questions is a big decision. Of course, the ...

Gaining traction: What Hippos can teach us about vertebrate embryonic morphogenesis

Posted by , on 19 January 2018

In our recently published paper, we discovered that the Hippo pathway transcription factors have an unexpected role in creating the conditions for the zebrafish body to extend posteriorly during embryogenesis, ...

Two fully-funded PhD positions in Wnt trafficking at the LSI in Exeter

Posted by , on 9 October 2017

The process of subdividing a tissue into functional units represents a classic problem in pattern formation. Signalling proteins – so-called morphogens – orchestrate this process. The traditional view is that ...
