معرفی
Jessica E. Treisman is a Professor in the Department of Cell Biology and Department of Ophthalmology at NYU Grossman School of Medicine. Her research focuses on developmental genetics and molecular neuroscience, particularly in the context of visual system development and synapse formation in Drosophila.
- Research Interests: Cell fate determination, tissue morphogenesis, neural circuit assembly, and corneal lens development
- Contact: Jessica.Treisman@nyulangone.org | 212-263-1031
- Lab: Treisman Lab, Skirball Institute, New York, NY
Her work explores how intrinsic transcription factors and extrinsic signaling pathways interact to regulate cell differentiation and tissue organization in the Drosophila visual system, with implications for understanding human corneal development and neural connectivity disorders.
Recent publications highlight her contributions to understanding:
- Molecular mechanisms of corneal lens curvature formation
- Regulation of synaptic targeting specificity
- Role of Sidekick in epithelial junction dynamics
- Transcriptional synergy between Glass and EGFR signaling
The Treisman Lab employs interdisciplinary approaches in Drosophila genetics to uncover fundamental principles of cell signaling and neural circuit development, with potential applications in human vision research and developmental disorders.
