Self organization of biological systems

My group uses embryonic stem cells to understand how gene regulatory networks are decoded by cells to build tissues and organs. We do this by combining molecular and cell biology with approaches borrowed from physics and engineering.

Keywords: Cell signalling / development / Wnt & Notch / stem cells / noise / synthetic biology / tissue engineering

Subject area(s): Cell & Tissue Architecture | Development | Systems Biology
