Evolving Neural Crest Cells (eBook, ePUB)

Redaktion: Eames, Brian Frank; Adameyko, Igor; Medeiros, Daniel Meulemans

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This volume will use a comparative approach to survey the development of the neural crest in vertebrates, and neural crest-like cells, across the metazoa. This information will be used to reveal neural crest evolution and identify the genomic, genetic, and gene-regulatory changes that drove them.

Autorenporträt

Daniel Meulemans Medeiros is an associate professor at the University of Colorado, Boulder. His lab uses a comparative developmental genetic approach, to better understand the evolutionary origins and diversification of the vertebrate head, a topic Dr. Medeiros has been studying for more than 16 years. Dr. Medeiros has published over 30 original research articles and several literature reviews on vertebrate head skeleton development and evolution, focusing on neural crest-derived skeletal tissues. Dr. Medeiros' research program has been continuously funded by multiple major grants from the NSF and NIH. Current projects in the Medeiros lab exploit new methods for monitoring and perturbing developmental gene expression in organisms occupying key phylogenetic nodes for understanding vertebrate evolution, including the jawless vertebrate lamprey, the vertebrate-like invertebrate chordate, amphioxus, zebrafish, and the African clawed frog.
