Orientation of cell division in developing epithelia: molecular and physical mechanisms. (360G-Wellcome-099234_Z_12_A)

£194,698

My award aims at understanding the integration of cell intrinsic and extrinsicmechanisms during tissue morphogenesis. We use Drosophila embryos as a modeland focus our research on two fundamental and conserved morphogeneticphenomena: axis extension and compartmental boundary formation. Axis extensiontakes place during the gastrulation of all bilateral animals and similar morphogeneticmovements shape organs later in development. Partitioning tissues intocompartments that do not mix is essential for the correct morphogenesis of animaltissues.
