Faculty Profile
I use Drosophila to study intercellular signaling pathways that control basic developmental processes, including cell proliferation, migration and differentiation. I combine molecular, genetic and cell biological approaches to understand the mechanisms by which gene interactions control organogenesis. The outcomes of these approaches will illuminate the conserved role of gene pathways in both normal development and disease.
I'd like to work with this faculty member. What should I do next?
Now that UR-Linked has helped you to identify a faculty member whose interests align with your interests, be sure to
review
the essential steps in contacting a potential faculty mentor .
The Assistant Director of Undergraduate Research,
Alicen Lundberg , can provide you with further guidance
about finding and connecting with faculty mentors at UMKC.
Once you have reviewed the essential steps to prepare for connecting with a potential faculty mentor, you can connect with the faculty member and begin a conversation about how you might work with him/her/them.
