Marianne E. Bronner, PhD
I have been a PI for the past 30 years and have broad expertise in many aspects of developmental biology, from classical experimental embryology to cutting-edge molecular applications. My research focus during that time has been on neural crest formation, migration and differentiation. I have trained numerous graduate students and post-docs, over a dozen of whom are now faculty members around the world. In fact, my achievements in mentoring are those of which I am most proud.
