Dorey Thomas

Dorey Thomas is a Research Fellow in the Department of Environmental Sciences at the University of Basel, affiliated with the Faculty of Humanities and Natural Sciences. He works within the Tschopp Laboratory, focusing on the molecular and cellular mechanisms of regulatory evolution in vertebrates.

• Studying developmental and evolutionary constraints on gene regulation
• Analyzing cell fate decisions during digit development
• Investigating limb neuromuscular system integration
• Exploring environmentally induced phenotypic plasticity in gastrointestinal tracts

The laboratory employs experimental embryology, functional genomics, single-cell sequencing, and computational modeling to address fundamental questions in evolutionary biology.
