We are an international, multidisciplinary team investigating the evolution of the mammalian cranium. We are mainly interested in how the mammalian cranium originated from the synapsid ancestor and how it has diversified among mammals. We take an integrative approach that combines paleontology, comparative anatomy, embryology, molecular developmental biology, and multi-omics. Our methodologies include x-ray microtomography, synchrotron imaging, geometric morphometrics, 3D histology, in situ hybridization, single-cell RNA sequencing, spatial transcriptomics, and light sheet fluorescence microscopy.
