Genetic reconstruction of old specimens
Bridging comparative anatomy, functional genomics, and experimental embryology, our research seeks to answer long-standing and classical questions of vertebrate evolution. Our long-term goal is to reveal the evolutionary and developmental mechanisms of the fish diversity and its contribution to vertebrate major transitions. As new genomic and imaging technologies extend their utility to model and non-model organisms alike, these fundamental problems become within our reach.
