Research Description: My research interests are focused in the mechanisms of regeneration and asexual development in ??basal? chordates. Colonial ascidians such Botryllus schlosseri are the closest relatives to vertebrates that, beside embryogenesis, can adopt two more distinct developmental pathways to regenerate their entire body, including all somatic tissues and the germline. My research aims are: (A) to understand the source of this regenerative plasticity, focusing on the molecules, cells and tissues involved in the two budding processes and, (B) to understand patterning and axis formation during regeneration at the molecular and morphological levels, and compare the mechanisms involved with those of embryogenesis.
