Developmental zoology

(PI: Steffen Werner) - How do cells (re)organize to form a complex, functional body during embryonic development and regeneration? We combine experiments and theory to understand communication and information storage from stem cells to neurons.

Current projects:

* Developmental biomechanics of axial muscle structure and activity patterns in larval zebrafish (PhD project of N.M.M.E. van Meer)
* Opening the black box: Machine learning for Next-Level Animal Science (PostDoc project M.J. Coughlan)
* Visuo-motor-control in juvenile fish (M.J.M. Lankheet)
