Research Interests:
I am interested in the formation of axes during early development. In particular we are investigating whether the mechanisms that form the anteroposterior axis in flies are conserved in other species. In order to address this question we have been cloning homologues of genes known to axiate Drosophila during early development from other species of insect.
