Bio
Crystal Rogers studies the molecular mechanisms that control the formation of cranial neural crest cells and the process that neural crest cells use to leave the neural tube and separate from each other. This process occurs in normal embryonic development, but it also occurs in disease states such as tumor transformation and fibrosis. The lab uses both chicken and axolotl as model organisms.
