项目摘要
PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT
A key goal in developmental biology is to understand how the brain is specified and organized regionally,
cellularly and molecularly. Central to this vision is determining the origins and fates of cells during development,
and thus map the progressive steps of cell specification and lineage divergences. Focused efforts have provided
insight into specific cell types and lineages, however global views of these processes have been lacking. Recent
technological breakthroughs in single-cell transcriptomics and lineage tracing using CRISPR-Cas9 tools are now
enabling the realization of this vision. The long-term goal of this project is to obtain global views of cellular
relationships and molecular changes during neural development and cell type diversification in the vertebrate
brain. These include generating large-scale, single-cell resolution cell specification trajectories that describe
molecular cascades underlying cell fate specification (Aim 1), and lineage trees that describe the history of cell
divisions (Aim 2). These trees represent many key aspects of developmental decisions and can be used to
determine gene expression cascades during cell specification and regulatory factors involved in progenitor
priming and neuron identity (Aim 1). Furthermore, they can address how often transcriptional and lineage
identities are related (Aim 2). These studies will generate resources for genome-wide and single-cell analysis of
brain development and reveal cellular and molecular mechanisms for generating neuronal cell diversity.
My career goal is to run an academic lab aimed at investigating cellular and molecular features underlying brain
development, neurogenesis and neural stem cell activity using global and focused approaches. The proposed
research draws on my previous experience with characterizing gene regulatory networks in neurogenesis and
extends it to a new model organism, zebrafish, while exposing me to new experimental and analytical methods.
I have developed a detailed training plan with my co-mentors, Drs. Len Zon, Alex Schier, and Josh Sanes, who
have combined expertise in development, behavior, neurobiology, single-cell analysis and disease modeling. To
help me transition to independence, we will meet regularly to discuss research progress, brainstorm ideas, and
obtain guidance on grant writing, mentorship and lab management. My K99 advisory committee consists of Drs.
Allon Klein, Sean Megason and Gord Fishell, whose collective expertise in single-cell genomics, zebrafish
development, and neurobiology will provide me with technical and conceptual feedback in executing my research
plan. I will continue to mentor a research technician/graduate student, will present my research at two meetings
per year, take courses on bioinformatic analysis, mathematical modeling and grant writing, and attend seminars
to broaden my scientific training. As a member of the Harvard Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology, I
will have access to leaders in developmental biology, neurobiology and genetics, as well as cutting-edge core
facilities. The Pathway to Independence Award will provide me with resources to initiate an ambitious research
program and obtain additional training to maximize my chances of a successful transition to independence.
