USC Stem Cell Seminar: Didier Stainier, Max Planck Institute for Heart and Lung Research

Speaker: Didier Stainier, Director, Department of Developmental Genetics/Max Planck Institute for Heart and Lung Research

Talk Title: Imaging heart development and function in zebrafish

Series: Eli and Edythe Broad Center for Regenerative Medicine and Stem Cell Research at USC Distinguished Speakers Series

Abstract: My lab investigates questions related to organogenesis, including cell differentiation, tissue morphogenesis, organ homeostasis and function, as well as organ regeneration. We study these questions in the zebrafish as well as in the mouse and are currently looking at several mesodermal (heart, vasculature) and endodermal (pancreas, lung) organs. We utilize both forward and reverse genetic approaches, and aim to dissect cellular processes using high-resolution live imaging. One goal of our studies is to gain understanding of vertebrate organ development at the single-cell level, and beyond. This talk will focus on cardiac development and function.
