The goal of research in the Lundquist lab is to understand the basic molecular and genetic mechanisms of nervous system development and tissue morphogenesis, with the ultimate goal of understanding development of the human brain. We use the small nematode worm Caenorhabditis elegans in our studies because of its relative simplicity, its experimental tractability, and the similarity of its genes and molecular mechanisms of development to humans'. |
