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 ...

We recommend that you apply as early as possible. 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 ...

We work in two areas. The first is traditional cell and molecular biology, focussed on the molecular mechanisms underlying mesoderm formation, and neural crest induction, and tissue and organ ...

A new study led by Prof. XU Cao’s team at the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology (IGDB) of the Chinese Academy ...

Mar. 24, 2025 — For successful cell division, chromosomal DNA needs to be packed into compact rod-shaped structures. Defects in this process can lead to cell death or diseases like cancer. A new ...

An interaction between the effects of developmental temperature and body mass on olfaction in a moth is explained by a positive relationship between antennal sensitivity and body mass observed ...

The action of non-canonical Wnt signaling during tissue morphogenesis remains unclear. Here, the authors find that Dact1 promotes oligomerization of Dvl to couple its binding partner switch from ...

Developmental biologist Dr. Alexandra Joyner reflects on her career and talks about the new passions she looks forward to ...

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 ...

A research team led by Dr. Li Yunhai from the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology of the Chinese Academy of ...

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 ...

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 ...
