Evolution of gene regulatory networks
How do changes in developmental gene regulatory networks generate new neuronal cell types? We compare neurogenic programmes across diverse animal lineages and combine single-cell genomics with developmental experiments to identify conserved regulatory principles and evolutionary innovations.

Origins and evolution of monoaminergic neurons
Do serotonin-, dopamine-, and other monoamine-producing neurons share an ancient regulatory identity? We combine comparative single-cell data, gene-expression analyses, and functional experiments to test how monoaminergic neuron identities emerged and diversified across Bilateria.
