Research Interests
The Schock lab uses Xenopus (frog) and mice to study embryonic development. We are specifically interested in the developing face and the cells that contribute to much of the facial architecture, the neural crest. Research in the lab is centered around two central questions.
1) We are intrested in undestanding how neural crest cells make cell fate decisions, with a current interest in the role of Sox transcription factors in this process.
2) We aim to develop and study disease model for human craniofacial syndromes, with a specific interest in patient-specific variants.
