How to achieve high #patterning #precision in #development?

#Morphogen gradients are more precise in #2D than in 1D, in particular when #cells are #narrow.

#introduction
I study #development and cell #signaling using #Drosophila. In my lab at #UMass Boston, we use #proteomics, #genetics, #imaging, and a bit of #biochemistry to study mechanisms of organ #growth and tissue #patterning. We like to discover and analyze #protein interaction #networks. Current interests are #Hippo and #ERK signaling, and control of #brain development. And no one can escape from #Notch.

Here comes the #Introduction. I am a postdoc original from #Colombia interested in #insects, #evodevo #genetics 🧬 and #patterning.

I work with butterfly 🦋 color patterns as a model to study #wnt #signaling, #generegulation, and #morphological evolution. Connecting the #genotype to the #phenotype is the goal!!!

I am a #Latina, working at GWU, in DC. #FirstGen

Done tons of #CRISPR experiments in different species of #Lepidoptera
