My main research domain is evo-devo.
We are studying sponges, as the most-basal animal lineage, to explore metazoan evolution.
Our current interests mainly focus on:
– origin and evolution of Epithelia; the involvment of wnt signaling in epithelium morphogenesis
– molecular mechanisms involved in cell dissociation-reaggregation and regeneration
– impact of some contaminants on epithelium integrity
