Mie Wong has joined the Fish Floor and the Department of Cell and Developmental Biology, UCL, as a Wellcome Trust and Royal Society Sir Henry Dale Fellow. She was previously at the University of Zurich, Switzerland.
Mie's lab studies how moving cells shape the developing embryo. The lab is especially interested in understanding the interplay between extrinsic signals and collective cell behaviours in establishing and maintaining the directionality of cell migration during development. The primary model used in the lab is a system of sensory organs called the lateral line. The Wong Lab employs interdisciplinary approaches including genetic, chemical and optical manipulations combined with advanced quantitative imaging, mass spectrometry and mathematical modelling.
