Harden Lab

We are interested in organismal development, in particular epithelial and synaptic development, and use the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, as a model system.

The development of a multicellular organism is an incredibly complex process, and we focus on two aspects: tissue morphogenesis and formation of the nervous system. The morphogenesis of epithelial tissues sculpts an organism into its final form, and we study epithelial morphogenesis in the ovary and the embryo. This work may aid in understanding common birth defects, as well as provide clues as to why so many cancers are derived from epithelial cells. We are also interested in the formation and regulation of synapses at the neuromuscular junction, work that may provide insights into the causes of neurodegenerative diseases.
