The development and formation of a complex organism from a single zygote is one of the most fascinating processes in biology. Equally amazing is how a complex organism can repair and maintain itself through its lifetime and give rise to the next generation. BMCB laboratories use a wide range of models to study the intricate processes of tissue & organismal development, production of germ cells & reproduction, and maintenance & homeostasis of post-developmental adults. Genetic, cell biological, genomic, and behavioral approaches are routinely utilized.
