The overarching goal of my research is to understand how complex highly integrated systems evolve via alterations in developmental mechanisms with specific focus on the neural crest derived vertebrate skull. We utilize an integrated and comparative evolutionary-developmental approach to understand the mechanisms underlying the development of the skeleton that involves combining an embryological understanding with an evolutionary understanding of morphology.

我的研究的首要目标是了解复杂的高度集成的系统如何通过改变发育机制，特别是神经嵴衍生的脊椎动物头骨的发展。我们利用一个综合的和比较的进化发展的方法来了解骨骼的发展，涉及到结合胚胎学的理解与形态的进化理解的机制。
