Projects for Thesis
Supervision:
1. Molecular control of motor axon pathfinding:
Identify and characterize molecules controlling how spinal motor neurons
direct their axonal projections within the limb mesenchyme.
2. Cell and molecular biology of neuronal
migration: Characterize the cellular and molecular mechanisms operating
within spinal motor neurons to coordinate the precise positioning of
their cell bodies.
3. Imaging nervous system development: Develop
new molecular tools to visualize in vivo the development of specific
subsets of spinal motor neurons.
