William Jackman

William Jackman is an Associate Professor of Biology at Bowdoin College, where his laboratory investigates the genetic control of zebrafish embryonic tooth development. His research integrates principles of gene regulation, cell signaling, organogenesis, and evolutionary biology.

Jackman's recent work examines retinoic acid signaling in tooth formation, dlx2b gene regulation during odontogenesis, and evolutionary patterns in vertebrate dentition initiation. His publications contribute to understanding developmental mechanisms underlying morphological evolution.
