I am interested in how complex tissue and organ structures arise from simple tissue primordia. Tissue morphogenesis is not only controlled biochemically but also an intrinsically mechanical process. Using an interdisciplinary approach combining genetics, cell biology, biophysics and mathematical modeling, I seek to understand how developmental patterning information controls individual cell shape changes and how they are integrated into stereotyped tissue-scale deformations.
