Hinman Lab

Carnegie Mellon University
We study the evolution of developmental mechanisms using marine invertebrate embryo and larval models. We compare the organization of gene regulatory networks (GRNs) to discover essential features of animal development and gain a better understanding of how evolutionary changes are incorporated into developmental programs.
