The research focuses on how gene function is networked and the ways that cells talk to each other to coordinate their activity in the formation of organs and body parts. Knowledge gleaned from these investigations will enhance our understanding of the genetic control underpinning normal development and the errors that lead to birth defects. The elucidation of the process that turns naive cells into the right cell type is essential for the use of stem cells for cell therapy and tissue repair.

这项研究的重点是基因功能是如何联网的，以及细胞如何相互交谈以协调它们在器官和身体部位形成中的活动。从这些调查中收集的知识将提高我们对支持正常发育的遗传控制和导致出生缺陷的错误的理解。阐明将幼稚细胞转化为正确细胞类型的过程对于使用干细胞进行细胞治疗和组织修复至关重要。
