Research

General

• Origin, development and evolutionary history of the dentition
• Development, plasticity and remodelling of skeletal tissues

Specific subjects

• Role of cell adhesion-mediated signalling in craniofacial malformations:
  an integrated molecular and morphological study
• Continuous tooth replacement in non-mammalian vertebrates:
  the possible involvement of epithelial stem cells
• Normal and pathological fusion of vertebrae in bony fish: an “evo-devo” study
• Individualisation of cartilaginous elements in the zebrafish skeleton
• The role of cell adhesion molecules in tooth development in the zebrafish
• Signalling pathways involved in tooth development and replacement:
  a developmental approach using mutants
