In mid-January, we will hear from three of Development’s Pathway to Independence (PI) fellows studying development, evolution and the environment. Chaired by one of Development’s first PI fellows, Priti Agarwal, Principal Investigator of the Organ Mechanobiology Lab at The National Centre for Biological Sciences (NCBS), India. Priti’s group studies the role of physical forces and their interaction with biochemical signals in regulating robust organ morphogenesis and homeostasis using C. elegans.
