This project investigates how the cellular mechanisms of animal development evolved by studying choanoflagellates, the closest living relatives of animals. It focuses on three morphogenetic processes, utilizing advanced genetic techniques to explore cell differentiation, adhesion, and complex morphogenesis.
My work concerns a critical question:
How did the cellular mechanisms underpinning animal morphogenesis first evolve?
While the first multicellular ancestors of modern animals have left limited fossil traces, insights can be gained by studying their closest living relatives: the choanoflagellates.
This group of microeukaryotes has several features of high relevance to animal origins, including temporal cell differentiation, facultative multicellularity, and a metazoan-like "developmental gene to…
