About
Lindsay Saunders is a Lecturer of Biology at Duke University's Trinity College of Arts & Sciences. She has been in this role since 2023. Saunders holds a Ph.D. from Duke University (2012). Her research focuses on developmental biology, particularly biomineralization processes and gene regulatory networks driving cell state transitions like epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT).
Her work integrates studies of sea urchin larval skeleton formation and molecular mechanisms underlying EMT, with implications for embryology, cancer metastasis, and marine biology. Recent publications (2014) highlight contributions to understanding cell specification and sub-circuit interactions in developmental systems.
No scientific awards or grants are explicitly listed in the provided data. She is affiliated with the Biology department and has no listed advisees.
