　　BSD PED - Cardiology - Moskowitz Lab

　　About the Department

　　Exciting research opportunity in the Moskowitz laboratory to help drivea research project in developmental biology aimed to understand themolecular basis of birth defects.The lab is devoted to the genetic,genomic and molecular study of gene regulatory networks in developingorgans, particularly cardiac development with respect to CongenitalHeart Disease (CHD). In cardiac development, we have identified anessential role for cilia-based Hedgehog signaling in cardiacprogenitors, an essential aspect of mammalian cardiac development. Ourstudies have contributed to a paradigm shift in the understanding ofcardiac morphogenesis, which is driven by events in cardiac progenitorsrather than in the heart itself (e.g. Hoffmann et al., 2009; Xie et al.,2012; Zhou et al., 2017). We have recently identified a surprising andnovel role for Hedgehog signaling in developmental timing control thatwill be the basis of future projects (Rowton et al. 2020).
