Research

GATA transcription factors regulate diverse aspects of the development of various organ systems derived from mesoderm and endoderm. In particular Gata4, Gata5 and Gata6 are each implicated in the development of the intestinal and cardiovascular systems. We use the murine embryonic stem cell model to understand how Gata 4, 5 and 6 contribute to multiple aspects of cardiovascular and gut development and to discover developmental programs regulated by individual and combinatorial sets of these factors.
