Research interests
We are interested in understanding the cellular and molecular mechanisms regulating myogenic differentiation, growth and repair using chick and mouse as models and high-end imaging technologies as investigation tools.
Ongoing research projects include:
- The analysis of early muscle differentiation and characterising the gene networks implicated in
- Muscle fusion
- The quiescence or proliferation of satellite cells.
