The Differentiation of Cardiac Progenitor Cells During Heart Formation.

We are working on identifying regulatory networks that contribute to heart development. We are also interested in understanding how environmental exposure during pregnancy influence the heart phenotypes.

Funding: NIH R56 (NHLBI)

We are using single-cell technologies to investigate the mechanisms of heart formation. Single-cell RNAseq analysis of E7.75 mouse embryos, showing main populations identified. Unpublished data, Estaras lab.
