Research Assistant


        

I'm working on the projects of identifying factors
that regulated head and neural crest cell development.
I have cloned a few different genes, such as cFGF10,
zAP1 & Snail2. I tested expressions by in-situ
hybridization and immunohistology both in chick
embryos & zebrafish embryos.
