Name: Dr. Brian F Eames

Position: Associate Professor

Research Description:

The Eames lab uses molecular genetics and advanced imaging techniques to understand how skeletal tissues develop and evolve. A general focus of the lab is on skeletal cell differentiation. What are the external signals that direct undierentiated cells to turn into bone or cartilage cells? How are these signals interpreted by cells to activate pathways of dierentiation? On the one hand, the Eames lab is interested in applying answers to these questions to such debilitating diseases as osteoarthritis. On the other hand (and these hands know each other), the Eames lab is interested to know how these same answers vary among chordate clades.
