Bio/Research

The normal development of an organism depends on the precise orchestration of cell division, differentiation and morphogenesis. Although much is understood about how developmental regulatory genes affect cell differentiation, little is understood about how they control cell proliferation throughout development. Using genetic analysis and molecular and cell biological approaches in C. elegans, the Roy laboratory is engaged in the identification and characterization of both novel and previously known genes which affect cell division throughout the course of embryogenesis and postembryonic development in C. elegans.
