Novel roles for neural crest cells in cardiac morphogenesis [ 2019 - 2021 ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Dr Quenten Schwarz (Principal investigator) ,  Dr Sophie Wiszniak

Brief description Abnormal formation of the cardiac outflow tract leads to common malformations affecting over 1% of all births. Taking advantage of novel mouse models this grant aims to identify the molecular mechanisms by which neural crest cells control formation of the cardiac outflow tract. New information generated from this study stands to identify new targets which may be used for predictive testing and regenerative therapies.
