Poongodi Geetha-Loganathan

Poongodi Geetha-Loganathan is Associate Professor of Biological Sciences at SUNY Oswego, researching cellular and molecular mechanisms of vertebrate embryonic development using avian and reptilian models.

Her laboratory investigates genetic regulation of morphogenesis, particularly craniofacial patterning and limb development. Recent studies analyze environmental impacts on embryogenesis, including nicotine effects on chicken development.

Publications in developmental biology journals examine Wnt signaling pathways, BMP functions, and neural crest contributions to organ formation. Research combines molecular genetics with advanced imaging techniques.
