Research Topic: Developmental Neurobiology

In the developing olfactory system, olfactory sensory neurons expressing a single olfactory receptor extend axons reproducibly onto specific glomerular structures in the olfactory bulb. My research focuses on defining and characterizing the cues that guide growing axons to their targets in the developing nervous system. Our lab utilizes embryonic zebrafish in order to investigate candidate guidance molecules that guide the projection of axons in olfactory sensory neurons to their glomerular targets in the olfactory bulb.
