Research Interests:

The Artinger lab is a neurodevelopmental lab focusing on the development of the neural crest. These cells undergo multiple development processes to differentiate into a wide variety of derivatives including all of the neurons and glia of the peripheral nervous system. Thus, they represent an excellent model to study genetic and epigenetic regulation of development.
