Profile Summary

My main interest is to understand how ubiquitous signaling pathways regulate development. The fine tuning of globally expressed proteins that coordinates tissue development is dependent on time, space and context. In my PhD I focused in the FGF signaling as a regulator of proper skull and bone development. During my postdoc at Stanford, I studied the opposite effects of canonical and non-canonical Wnt signaling in face development. Now my current postdoc at UCSF, is centered in the role o Ras/MAPK pathway in the brain development.
