Research project funded by NINDS to study forebrain development and evolution using interspecies blastocyst complementation, led by UT Southwestern Medical Center.
Description
The project involves interspecies blastocyst complementation to generate and study forebrain development and evolution. The project aims to explore barriers between species, mechanisms in chimeras, and extend research to wild rodents. The project is led by Professor Michael Buszczak at UT Southwestern Medical Center.
