Research Description

Group leader in the Division of Systems Biology at the National Institute of Medical Research, London, UK.

In general my work concerns gene regulatory networks in early development.
Specifically I am looking at the onset of zygotic transcription and the initiation of asynchronous embryonic development in vertebrates, using an unbiased genomics approach.

I also work on the analysis and annotation of in situ image data, and am a member of both the Xenopus resources development group and the Xenopus genome steering committee.
