Research Assistant Professor of Physiology
Kume, Tsutomu
Professor of Medicine (Cardiology) and Pharmacology
Description of Interests
Our lab uses molecular genetic and genomic approaches to study the development of a group of embryonic cells called the neural crest. Neural crest cells are migratory, tissue-invasive stem cells that originate in the ectoderm of vertebrate embryos and play a central role in the development of the vertebrate body plan.
