Majesky Lab

Heart drawing

In the Majesky Lab, we use molecular, biological and developmental genetic approaches to address fundamental questions in the development and differentiation of blood vessels. Current research projects use both mouse and avian models. One major research focus is on vascular stem and progenitor cells that reside in the adventitial layer of artery walls. Another major interest concerns molecular mechanisms that control formation and differentiation of coronary vessels.
