We study cell-cell interactions & how systemic changes influence these interactions using skin as a model
Research Projects
Our goal is to discover the principles and molecular nature of cell-cell interactions governing development, regeneration, and injury repair. We use the mammalian skin as our model, a highly accessible organ with diverse cell types and multiple populations of somatic stem cells.
