Focus Areas:
-
Genetic and developmental mechanisms underlying adaptive human sweat, hair, and mammary traits.
-
Genetic and cellular interactions controlling identity, differentiation, and patterning of the eccrine sweat gland.
-
Mechanisms of formation, action, and functional divergence of skin appendage mesenchymal niches.
