Research Interests:
The focus of my research is on the molecular basis of human craniofacial disorders, especially craniosynostosis and mandibulofacial dysostosis. Ongoing positional cloning efforts are concentrated on the identification of disease genes of craniofacial conditions with neurological deficits. We have identified mutations for these conditions in homebox and helix-loop-helix transcriptional factors and fibroblast growth factors receptors. Current experimentations are focused at the biochemical and cellular level to delineate the pathogenetic mechanism of these mutations and phenotype-genotype correlations.
