Our team is interested in the molecular and cellular mechanisms of skeletal muscle progenitor and stem cells specification, maintainance, growth arrest and differentiation using mouse molecular genetics, as well as understanding the function of the Pax3 and Pax7 genes during development, evolution, skeletal muscle formation, neural crest cells, nervous system development and cancer.
