Glover Lab

The Glover lab group's research is focused on understanding how tissues become patterned during embryonic development by investigating the interplay between molecular signals and mechanical forces that shape embryonic tissue organization.

The central goal of our research group is to understand how tissues become patterned during embryonic development. We focus on how the molecular and mechano-cellular environments drive the emergence of regular arrays of anatomical units—known as periodic patterns—that add essential complexity to tissues and underpin their final function. Such patterns include structures like hair follicles, intestinal villi, digits, and fingerprints.
