Research Interests
Structural RegenerationResearch Area
We study limb and tail regeneration-competent tadpoles (Xenopus laevis) and regeneration-incompetent mice (Mus musculus). We take advantage of cutting-edge sequencing and imaging technologies and harmonize their use with traditional developmental biology approaches. Not every question can be easily answered by studying whole animals. Therefore, we are developing and using simplified culture systems to grow limbs in a dish without the need for animal bodies, allowing us to perform many experiments at an unprecedented speed and to gain new insights into limb regeneration.Current Members
