Current work is directed at understanding the function of the lipid on the Wnt,  using Wnt proteins as factors the expand stem cells and on understanding Wnt signaling during injury repair and regeneration.","imageUrl":"http://med.stanford.edu/profiles/viewImage?facultyId=4280&type=small&showNoImage","href":"http://med.stanford.edu/profiles/Roeland_Nusse","appointments":[{"appointment":"Professor,Developmental Biology"},{"appointment":"Member,Bio-X"},{"appointment":"Member,Cancer Center"}],"clinicalFocus":[],"firstName":"Roeland","primaryAppointment":"Professor,Developmental Biology","displayName":"Roeland Nusse","lastName":"Nusse"},{"researchInterest":"Genetic regulation of animal development and human disease.

That is, how can precise patterns of neuronal connections be genetically programmed during development, and how, once formed, can such circuits be used to mediate complex visual behaviors?   Using the fruit fly visual system as a model, we employ genetic approaches to manipulate the functions of genes and neurons. From this, we infer specific developmental roles for particular molecules, and infer specific computational roles for individual neurons.","imageUrl":"http://med.stanford.edu/profiles/viewImage?facultyId=3885&type=small&showNoImage","href":"http://med.stanford.edu/profiles/Thomas_Clandinin","appointments":[{"appointment":"Associate Professor,Neurobiology"},{"appointment":"Member,Bio-X"}],"clinicalFocus":[],"firstName":"Thomas","primaryAppointment":"Associate Professor,Neurobiology","displayName":"Thomas Clandinin","lastName":"Clandinin"},{"researchInterest":"","imageUrl":"http://med.stanford.edu/profiles/viewImage?facultyId=6206&type=small&showNoImage","href":"http://med.stanford.edu/profiles/Bruce_Baker","appointments":[{"appointment":"Emeritus (Active) Professor,Biology (School of Humanities and Sciences)"},{"appointment":"Member,Bio-X"}],"clinicalFocus":[],"firstName":"Bruce","primaryAppointment":"Emeritus (Active) Professor,Biology (School of Humanities and Sciences)","displayName":"Bruce Baker","lastName":"Baker"},{"researchInterest":"We study innate immunity and microbial pathogenesis.
