If you have a question about this talk, please contact Caroline Newnham .

In our group, we are focusing on the temporal aspect of embryonic development and thus on the role of embryonic clocks, or oscillators. Oscillations in Wnt, Fgf and Notch-signaling pathway activity (period ~2hours) have been identified during mesoderm patterning in vertebrate embryos and are linked to the formation of pre-vertebrae, or somites. Most strikingly, oscillations occur phase-shifted between neighbouring cells, producing spatio-temporal activity patterns within the embryo. Using a combination of genetically engineered dynamic reporter mouse lines, functional perturbations and quantitative in vivo measurements, we currently address the principles underlying synchronization.
