Our research looks at how animals like lungfish, bichirs, axolotls, and zebrafish, are able to regrow body parts. By studying species that are excellent regenerators, we aim to uncover the cells and the genetic programs that make regeneration possible.

To do this, we use advanced tools that let us assess the activity of thousands of genes in individual cells, to map where those cells are located in the body, and to identify the DNA elements that turn on or off gene expression during regeneration.

By studying regeneration from many angles and across multiple species, our goal is to identify the essential “toolkit” that allows animals to regrow tissues, and to understand how this remarkable ability evolved.
