About the Wilson-Gestri lab
The primary aim of our research group is to elucidate the mechanisms that underlie the development of the vertebrate forebrain and eyes.
We study the processes by which cells and tissues take shape, the signaling pathways that control cell migration and allocation of cell identity, the formation of neural circuits and the development of behavior. For our studies, we work with zebrafish, as the brains of fish embryos are relatively simple and are amenable to genetic, molecular and imaging approaches.
Our lab is split into two broad research themes: Brain Asymmetry headed by Prof Steve Wilson & Eye Development and Disease headed by Dr Gaia Gestri. You can read more about our research below.
