Dr. Moens is also Associate Member in the Division of Basic Sciences at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, Seattle, and Affiliate Associate Professor in the Departments of Biological Structure and Zoology at the University of Washington. She received her B.Sc. degree in biology at York University in Toronto and her Ph.D. degree in molecular genetics at the University of Toronto, where she studied mammalian developmental genetics with Janet Rossant. Dr. Moens pursued her postdoctoral work at the University of Oregon, where she began her studies of zebrafish neural development with Charles Kimmel.
RESEARCH ABSTRACT SUMMARY:
Cecilia Moens is interested in understanding how the vertebrate brain achieves its neuromeric organization early in development. She uses a combination of zebrafish genetics and experimental embryology to identify the genes that control early brain development, to learn where and when they function, and by what molecular mechanism.
