RESEARCH SUMMARY
Dr. Voas studies regeneration in flatworm species as a means for understanding how some animals can achieve large scale replacement of lost or damaged body parts, while others cannot despite extensive similarities in their developmental genetic programs. Dr. Voas is particularly interested in differences in the abilities to regenerate the nervous system among highly regenerative species, and the roles that the nervous system plays in regenerative processes.
