M. A. Fernández-Terán, M.D., Ph.D.

Dr. Fernández-Terán research interests include pattern formation during limb development an area in which she has been working over the past several decades. Among her contributions are the identification of the role Hand2 plays in limb development and in establishing the initial limb prepatterning and the role of the mesonephros. She also performed a comprehensive analysis of the patterns of cell death and cell proliferation during a wide period of chick and mouse limb development. Currently she is focusing in the function of the non-AER ectoderm during limb development and she is collaborating with several ongoing projects in the lab.
