1. Role of Wnt genes in early embryogenesis. Multiple Wnt genes are expressed during gastrulation in mice and one of them Wnt3 is essential for gastrulation. Wnt3 mutants fail to produce a primitive streak and die shortly thereafter. This project will analyze the interactions between Wnt3 and other Wnt genes taking advantage of Wnt3 mutant embryos.

2. Isolation of epiblast stem cells and induced pluripotent stem cells. The aim of this project is to isolate epiblast stem cells (EpiSC) and induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells to study patterning mechanisms in early embryogenesis.
