Bio/Research

There are three major projects underway in the Pilgrim laboratory, on developmental neurobiology, sex determination, and the cell biology of myosin assembly and stability. Our primary research organism is the free-living nematode Caenorhabditis elegans , although we also use the zebrafish as a model vertebrate to understand conserved cellular processes. Both model systems allow us to use genetic tools to complement molecular and cellular biology approaches toward the study of the mechanisms controlling developmental and differentiation decisions.
