Developmental signalling networks

Objective

This project will involve the training of 7 early stage researchers in developmental and evolution biology at two Helsinki University research institutes involving 11 co-operating teams. Developmental biology is among the most rapidly progressing fields of biology and biomedicine. Recently one of the main outcomes in biology has been the discovery of numerous genes and molecular pathways that are shared among the different organs and organisms. We have specialised in elucidating the molecular pathways that regulate organogenesis in both vertebrate and invertebrate model organisms. The focus is in signalling networks that mediate the communication between cells during morphogenesis and guide the differentiation of progenitor cells. Our research and training also aim to improve understanding in basic developmental processes underlying human disorders.
