Welcome to Developmental Biology

We are dedicated to advancing research and education in the study of embryology and the analysis of the developmental etiology of human diseases and organ regeneration . Therefore, the department has a dual mission that entails the pursuit of basic research in developmental biology and the bridging of basic research with disease modeling and translational investigations to shed light on human disease mechanisms. Learn more about us.
