Research Interests:
One aspect of my research is focused on the role of Shh signaling during mouse limb development. Specifically, I am studying the influence of Gli3 during auto-pod patterning.
I am also interested in a more general question regarding Shh signaling, which is, to what extent are the functions of Gli orthologues from different vertebrate species conserved.
