| Dr. Ian D. Chin-Sang, CCS/NCIC Research Scientist, Assistant Professor: “We use the genetic model organism Caenorhabditis elegans to study simple examples of morphogenetic movements. The well defined anatomy of C. elegans will allow us to analyze these processes at a level of precision not easily attainable in other organisms. My lab uses genetic, molecular biology, biochemistry, and state of the art video microscopy techniques to elucidate the mechanisms by which tissues and organs are generated. In previous work we have shown that ephrin signaling is required for proper C. elegans morphogenesis.” ©Queen's University, Kingston, Ontario, Department of Biology, Laboratory of Dr. Ian D.
