Participating in the Chancellor’s Undergraduate Research Awards program: Yes

Research Interest:
The main interest of my lab is to study the biology of vascular endothelial cells. With mouse genetics and embryonic stem (ES) cells, we are trying to unravel molecular mechanisms governing 1) the generation/differentiation of endothelial cell (progenitors) in developing embryos and 2) the process of neovascularization in pathophysiologic conditions.

Minimum time commitment in hours per week: 15

Qualifications of a Student:
preferred, - lab experience - 3rd year - biology-related major

Brief Summary of what is expected from the student:
- strong interest in biological science - performing experiments (basic molecular biology and cell biology)

NOTE: This researcher is currently not accepting applications for the Undergraduate Research Experience program.
