Abstract: An important goal of developmental biology is to understand how millions of cells unite to produce a complex organ. For this process to be successful, the cells must take on proper fates at the appropriate times, in the correct proportions, and organize themselves so that the organ functions effectively. We are using the cardiovascular system as a model to understand the rules of these developmental events. Our laboratory is specifically focused on how cardiovascular progenitor cells behave in three dimensions and at the single cell level with inputs from physical forces. This allows us to study coronary development at high resolution to gain new information on how the cardiovascular system is assembled during embryogenesis and how developmental programs are reignited during disease.
