What I do
I futz around on the computer more than I am at the bench nowadays, but I like both. Some molecular biology, some microsurgery, some datamining.

Interests
I am interested in how organisms develop over time. How cells acquire identity. How their fate is established, under what circumstances they change paths, how they communicate during morphogenesis. My favorite model for such cellular plasticity is the neural crest cell population. We study both chicken and human (postimplantation) embryos.
