lab8ad@virginia.edu 434-243-2541 "My research is essentially focused on determining if Notch signaling plays a role on perineurial glia migration during the development of the peripheral motor nerves."

jle8cn@virginia.edu 434-243-2541 "I am investigating a mutant fish in which perineurial glia fail to exit the spinal cord and Schwann cells don't make myelin components. I am also developing a cell ablation tool to test for critical windows of peripheral nerve development."

tjh3u@virginia.edu 434-243-2541 "My project is researching the role of Netrin/DCC signaling in glial cell migration in the developing fish."

rjn3z@virginia.edu 434-243-2541 "The goal of my research is to characterize the phenotype and identify the genotype of a novel zebrafish mutant. The perineurial glia of this transgenic mutant show an aberrant morphology as well as ectopic exit."

avp8d@virginia.edu 434-243-2541 "My project pertains to the characterization of the unique mutant line- monorail. This investigation hopes to explain the problems with perineurial glia and understand why and if Scwhann cell health is related. Ultimately we hope to explain if axon health can affect both parties."

kmb8xw@virginia.edu 434-243-2541 "I am expanding the lab's field of study into the sensory nervous system. I am currently looking for the origin of the perinurial glia that associate with sensory nerves."

The workhorse of the lab.

None of what we do would be possible without these guys!
