Using single cell quantitative approaches, live imaging, multiple experimental model systems (including Xenopus, zebrafish, and stem cell cultures), and mathematical modeling, her lab investigates the dynamics of gene expression that underlie cell fate decisions. A key contribution has been the hypothesis that the mutually antagonistic interaction between the neural progenitor transcription factor Hes1 and microRNA miR-9 generates pulsatile gene expression at the single cell level, which can transition to stable states in a time-controlled manner. Analysis of her recent publications reveals a strong focus on oscillatory gene expression patterns, neural development mechanisms, and the role of dynamics in cell fate determination. Her work spans developmental neuroscience, cancer biology (particularly glioblastoma), and pancreatic development, demonstrating the broad applicability of her research on gene expression dynamics.
