RESEARCH INTERESTS

My long-term research interests lie in the understanding of the dynamics and interplay of signalling networks in cell fate decisions during embryonic development.  Further, to apply this knowledge to disease models and regenerative studies.

My research work in the lab will revolve around the delineation of endocardium specification program and understanding the role of Ephrin signalling during the zebrafish heart development.
