  Research Interest

  Our research is focused on the genetic regulation of animal development and its relation to birth defects, cancer, and neurodegeneration. We study mechanisms and functions of Hedgehog (Hh) signaling, which controls cell fates and growth, in the context of normal development and brain cancer. We study a neurodegenerative disease, Niemann-Pick C syndrome, that affects intracellular organelle movements and sterol homeostasis.
