Bio/Research
Daniel Grimes is an academic expert in genetics, genomics and embryonic development. At the University of Oregon, he is an assistant professor of biology and a member of the Institute of Molecular Biology. Daniel studies symmetries and asymmetries in the body plan. Many features of vertebrate bodies, such as the skeleton and the limbs, display symmetry between left and right. By contrast, the internal organs exhibit left-right asymmetries in their position and structure. His lab uses genetic, genomic, and imaging procedures to understand the basis of these symmetries and asymmetries during development and growth. He is also interested in how (a)symmetries contribute to human diseases including birth defects and scoliosis.
