Biography

The Gilbert lab has previously established methods to engineer murine skeletal muscle tissues that rapidly induce and sustain muscle stem cell quiescence. I am interested in using this platform to study the spatially and temporally complex signalling between muscle stem cells that enables niche repopulation.
