Research project awarded to study the role of ZEB2 in neural crest cell formation and craniofacial pathology, focusing on Mowat-Wilson Syndrome, funded by NIDCR.
Description
The project focuses on the role of ZEB2 in neural crest cell formation and craniofacial development, with emphasis on Mowat-Wilson Syndrome. It involves molecular, epigenetic, and organoid modeling approaches. Funding is provided by the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR). The project aims to elucidate mechanisms underlying neural crest development and associated pathologies.
