The Pani lab explores the cell biological foundations of development and tissue maintenance. We use in vivo live imaging, genome engineering, and genetics to answer longstanding questions and provide...
Our research focuses on developmental–genetic mechanisms of pattern formation, long-distance cellular communication, and stem cell biology. Additional efforts address the evolution of gene regulatory...
My research is focused on study of genome variation and genetic diversity, and its consequences on species health and survival. I am interested in local changes consisting of substitutions and small...
Our laboratory studies how neurons assemble into circuits and how those circuits adapt to the environment. We use state-of-the-art neuroscience tools in the rodent visual system, such as in vivo...
Our research involves the integration of human genetic epidemiology, molecular genetics and computational biology, with a focus on the genetic basis of type 1 diabetes and its complications as well as...
Do plants age? Do stressful conditions during early-life influence late-life performance? What traits across the lifecycle are most critical to the persistence of a species that is found in a very...

The sheer number and diversity of cell types within the human brain is staggering. Understanding how cellular diversity is generated and organized in such a way that allows organisms to think and...
My students, post-docs and I study population genetics and molecular evolution. We are studying invasive species as models for the evolution of geographic range expansion. We also study how evolution...
We are interested in studying how microbes evolve, adapt and diversify at the molecular, organismal and community levels. To gain insights into the fundamental mechanisms underlying these processes...
