Research group

Group Erickson

We study how biological form emerges during embryonic development. Our goal is to deconstruct the mechanisms used by cells to compute, transmit, and retain spatiotemporal information in the body. We aim to employ gene editing with sequencing- and microscopy-based readouts for quantitative and functional modelling of regulatory networks.

About me

In my research group, we are studying how craniofacial shape emerges during embryonic development. In pursuit of this question, we study a range of in vivo models and employ both new and traditional methods (gene editing, lineage tracing, single-cell profiling, microscopy, cell sorting, CT scanning).
