There are several projects going on in the Keller lab. Here are some of the primary lab projects:

	Neural Convergence and Extension: Mechanism and Patterning
	Neural Tube Closure
	Biomechanics
	Fibrillin
	PCP genes in Xenopus
	Superficial Mesoderm Morphogenesis All amphibians have mesoderm in their superficial epithelial layers before gastrulation. We are interested in how it moves into the deep layers and how it is patterned, in a variety of amphibians.
	Mesendodermal Morphogenesis
	Mesodermal Convergence and Extension
	Transgenics
