A gene regulatory network with an important role in embryonic development |
The main line of inquiry of our group is the understanding of the dynamics
of biological systems arising from interactions at different scales and
organizational levels. Cellular function emerges from the interaction
of numerous molecular components. Interactions
among groups of cells determine how multi-cellular organisms
develop and how tissues and organs function. Individual and population-level
interactions form the basis of population biology and ecology. All these
problems can seldom be solved by the reductionist method and they call
for creative and interdisciplinary approaches.
