معرفی
Jared Talbot is an Assistant Professor in the School of Biology and Ecology at the University of Maine. He holds a Ph.D. from the University of Oregon (2011). His research focuses on understanding how stem-like cells migrate and differentiate during embryonic development, particularly in zebrafish models. Key areas include muscle precursor cell movements and sarcomere formation. His work bridges developmental biology with insights into cancer metastasis and human muscle diseases.
Research Interests:
- Muscle development and migration patterns in vertebrates
- Genetic regulation of sarcomere assembly
- Zebrafish as a model system for studying developmental processes
- Connections between cell migration mechanisms in muscle precursors and cancer metastasis
Lab Activities:
His Talbot Lab utilizes CRISPR-based techniques and genetic models to investigate cell migration dynamics and contractile machinery formation. Recent studies highlight the role of Six family genes in muscle precursor guidance and Mylpf dosage effects on fast-twitch muscle fibers.
Key Technical Expertise:
- Zebrafish genetics and embryology
- CRISPR genome editing pipelines
- High-resolution live imaging of cellular processes
- Molecular analysis of gene regulatory networks
