Identifier
1K99HD121969-01
Award for research on dynamic signaling and transcriptional programs in appendage regeneration using multidisciplinary approaches and expert mentorship.
Description
The project involves multidisciplinary approaches including live imaging, optogenetics, and mathematical modeling to study tissue regeneration. It is supported by an interdisciplinary training plan with mentorship from experts in regeneration biology, biophysics, bioelectricity, and in vivo imaging. The project aims to uncover principles by which dynamic signals are interpreted during vertebrate appendage regeneration and to lay the foundation for future independent research.
