The goal of our work is to understand the fundamental mechanisms controlling how cells migrate, deposit extracellular matrix, and remodel their environment. These behaviours are critical for normal embryonic development and pathologies such as tissue fibrosis and cancer metastasis. Our lab exploits both in vivo and in vitro model systems along with time-lapse imaging and computer vision approaches to understand both the genetics and the dynamics of these processes.
