Areas of Interest

What are the mechanisms through which stem cells give rise to self-organized embryonic structures and organs? How is the information required to form these structures encoded in highly dynamic signals? What is the role of the physical forces and geometric constraints in reproducible tissue patterning and morphogenesis?
