This Presidential Young Investigator award is to support research aimed at an understandling of morphogenetic mechanisms at the cellular and molecular levels, that is the mechanisms responsible for organizing embryonic cells into complex tissues and organs. The research program will examine cell-cell interactions and cell-substrate interactions to study the directional cell migrations that characterize the early development of multicellular organisms and the regulation of gene expression and cell differentiation. The model system is the sea urchin embryo which is transparent, thus cell migration may be monitored in vivo. This research should answer fundamental questions about the development of complex tissues and organs from undifferentiated single cell and small cell populations.

这个总统青年研究员奖是为了支持研究 目的是为了了解 细胞和分子水平，这是负责的机制， 将胚胎细胞组织成复杂的组织和器官。 该研究计划将研究细胞间的相互作用， 细胞-基质相互作用，以研究定向细胞 早期发展的特征 多细胞生物与基因表达和细胞 分化 模型系统是海胆胚胎， 透明的，因此细胞迁移可以被监测， vivo. 这项研究应该回答关于 复杂组织和器官从未分化的 单细胞和小细胞群体。
