Research Intrest

My major research interest is whether Eph receptor tyrosine kinases and ephrin ligands may regulate cytoarchitecture in various tissues once development is completed. The roles of Eph receptors and ephrins have been extensively characterized in developing tissues. Different biological functions have been attributed to these proteins, including regulation of tissue-border formation, axon guidance, cell migration and vascular development. However, little is known about the localization and functions of these proteins in normal adult organs.
