Elizabeth J. Robertson

Field: Biology
Packard Fellowship award year: 1990

Research Interests

ur overall goal is to understand cell-cell interactions that mediate the establishment of the early body plan of the mammalian embryo. Many of these studies use pluripotential embryonic stem cells (ES cells) in conjunction with gene targeting techniques to study functional relationship(s) between TGFB-related growth factors and their cognate receptors. To facilitate cell lineage and cell fate analysis, cell-marking systems are being developed.
