Lab Overview

Our laboratory has a long-standing interest in the imaging and molecular analysis of intact biological systems, and has been developing new technologies for novel assays. Our current research centers on the high-content imaging of embryonic zebrafish and analysis of craniofacial development in avians and mice.

We conduct this research at several shared imaging facilities:

  • Olfactory Sensory Neurons: Transgenic mouse section revealing the nasal cavity and olfactory bulbs (Image courtesy of David Koos)
