Our Research Goals
The common fundamental goals of the projects are to characterize and understand normal and abnormal patterns of gene expression in developing muscle from the stem cell state through to maturity. Further, we aim to understand the molecular consequences of specific genetic defects and to identify appropriate targets for therapeutic intervention.
Based on these fundamental goals, there are three complementary approaches to our research
2. To identify new muscle-specific genes and proteins through biochemical and molecular analysis
3. To research gene expression using microarray technology
