Welcome
Our laboratories share a passion for developmental biology: the study of how a single cell gives rise to a complex, multicellular organism. We are using a variety of in vitro and in vivo systems including the chick and mouse animal models, to address basic questions about development. How does the placenta form? How is the left-right axis established in the developing embryo? How do kidneys grow and branch to form a sufficient number of nephrons?
Researchers
Indra R. Gupta, M.D.
Obtained MD from U of Alberta in 1988. Completed research fellowship at Hospital for Sick Children 1994 - 1998. Currently a clinician-scientist at the MCH.
Loydie Majewska, Ph.D.
My PhD was from Columbia University in 2001. Currently an Assistant Professor at McGill. Studying organogenesis of the placenta in mice.
Aimee K. Ryan, Ph.D.
My laboratory studies the molecular mechanisms that establish and pattern the left-right axis and direct asymmetric organ development and positioning.
