Laboratory of Developmental Biology (LDB)

Cecilia Lo, PhD, Principal Investigator

Welcome to the Laboratory of Developmental Biology. This laboratory is part of the Division of Intramural Research program of the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute at the National Institutes of Health. The Chief of the Laboratory is Dr. Cecilia Lo. The long term mission of the Laboratory is to elucidate the complex etiology of congenital cardiovascular diseases. The Laboratory is presently comprised of three sections: Congenital Heart Disease Section, Developmental Glycobiology Section , and Stem Cell and Neuro-Vascular Patterning Section. Vigorous research programs in these three groups use mouse, zebrafish and frog embryo models to elucidate the developmental regulation of embryonic development and patterning of the cardiovascular and vascular systems. These studies involve the use of genetically engineered and chemically mutagenized animal models together with state of the art genomic, proteomic and cutting edge real time imaging technology to elucidate the cell and molecular mechanisms of cardiovascular/vascular development and disease.
