The undergraduate minor in molecular, cellular and developmental biology prepares students to address global challenges such as climate change, international conflict and economic inequality. The ...

Researchers reveal that the guinea pig pre-implantation embryo is very similar to the human embryo, spurring a better understanding of infertility and early human development.

We're dedicated to conducting cutting-edge, fundamental basic and translational research to improve human health and educating the next generation of scientists. Our faculty, staff, and trainees play ...

Developmental biology is the field of biology that studies the processes by which multicellular organisms grow and develop, controlled by their genes. Knowledge of normal developmental processes ...

In the quest to understand how complex life forms develop from a single cell, scientists have long studied the intricate processes of morphogenesis. However, the ability to direct and manipulate ...

Apr. 9, 2025 — Researchers have found a new role for the transcription factor (proteins that regulate the transcription, or copying, of genes). In the fruit fly, this transcription factor, named ...

Variation in developmental processes, including those involved in evolutionary change as well as disease, are discussed. Specific topics include: fertilization, determination of cell fate and ...

Wu Qingfeng at the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has demonstrated the conserved cellular development and evolutionary innovations in the developing ...

These aggregates assembled into structures modeling the post-implantation embryo—an important milestone in developmental biology that could enable researchers to study this critical stage in the ...

We reserve the right to close applications if the course is full. Develop the skills needed to go into research in cell or developmental biology and solve problems with normal development and tissue ...

Human eggs are missing an important protein, which acts as a molecular motor, as researchers have found out. Their findings open up new avenues for therapeutic approaches that could reduce chromosome ...

Our MSc Developmental Biology and Stem Cells (Research) course is designed to train those who wish to pursue a research career in, or to work in associated areas in health or science. You will ...
