Developmental Genomics, Embryology and Stem Cells [ 2016 - ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Prof Patrick Tam (Principal investigator)

Brief description The research focuses on how gene function is networked and the ways that cells talk to each other to coordinate their activity in the formation of organs and body parts. Knowledge gleaned from these investigations will enhance our understanding of the genetic control underpinning normal development and the errors that lead to birth defects. The elucidation of the process that turns naive cells into the right cell type is essential for the use of stem cells for cell therapy and tissue repair.
