Description of CVI Expertise
CVI Program Unit(s):Cardiovascular Development / Congenital Heart Disease
CVI Research Description:
I am a pediatric cardiologist. Using the zebrafish model system, I study the molecular basis of congenital heart disease.
Ongoing Projects:
identifying a molecular pathway for left-right axis specification; elucidating the mechanisms of rostral-caudal patterning of the heart tube; characterizing the contribution of the cranial neural crest to heart tube patterning.
