Epithelium is a fundamental tissue structure for organisms. It plays essential roles in animal development and homeostasis.   Our laboratory is interested in epithelial morphogenesis and homeostasis in reproduction, development and cancer. We use mouse embryos, embryonic stem cells and female reproductive tracts to study lineage specification, pluripotency and ovarian cancer tumorigenesis.
