Understanding how tissues are shaped during embryonic growth
During the embryonic growth and development of animals, thousands of cells organise themselves into tissues and organs with a variety of complex shapes.
I study Drosophila embryos to understand the fundamental mechanisms by which tissues are shaped during embryonic development, a process called morphogenesis.
Studying the forces underlying morphogenesis
To fully understand morphogenesis, we must understand the nature of all the forces involved and how they act together to direct the final shape of a tissue (Lye and Sanson, 2011). Tissues arise from groups of cells, which undergo collective cell movements to generate the final shape of the tissue.
Cells in the group can generate their own, intrinsic, forces to drive genetically-programmed cell behaviours contributing to collective cell movement. Cells can also respond to physical forces generated elsewhere in the embryo (extrinsic forces), either by deforming passively or responding actively. I aim to address integration of both genetically-programmed and physical cues during collective cell movement, using Drosophila embryos as a model.
