Research Focus:

My laboratory uses mouse developmental genetics to explore the function of Hox-expressing stem and progenitor cells in muscle, skeleton and lung. We have generated many new mouse models including reporters, lineage-trace models, conditional deletion and epitope-tagged alleles to pursue the mechanisms of Hox function in regenerative models.
