RESEARCH SUMMARY

Michael Boylan is a Research Fellow interested in fibroblast growth factor signaling and its role in paraxial mesoderm patterning and morphogenesis in the mouse embryo. He has expertise in using advanced tissue labeling and imaging techniques to investigate gene and protein expression, as well as experience in using complex mouse genetics, to study FGF signaling in novel contexts.
