Area of Science:

  • Developmental biology
  • Cardiovascular science
  • Congenital heart defect research

Background:

  • The cardiac outflow tract is frequently affected by anomalies in congenital heart defects.
  • Its complex morphogenesis involves multiple cell types and tissues, making it prone to developmental errors.
  • Despite advances, the precise mechanisms of outflow tract development remain poorly understood.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide new insights into the mechanisms of cardiac outflow tract morphogenesis.
  • To clarify the origins and fate of cardiomyocytes within the outflow tract.
  • To investigate the roles of invading cell populations in outflow tract development.

Main Methods:

  • Integration of traditional and novel techniques.
  • Multidisciplinary approaches involving anatomy, physiology, and molecular biology.
