We study how the different cell types in the liver, in particular the hepatocyte, are generated during development, patterned and maintained during adulthood, and regenerate after injury.
The Watkins Lab studies axonal stress signaling to understand how transcriptional programs determine neuronal fate in injury and disease, from driving neurodegeneration to enabling axon regeneration
Our lab focuses on the roles of tyrosine kinases and phosphatases in regulating lymphocyte activation, and studies how abnormalities in tyrosine phosphorylation pathways can lead to immunologically-mediated diseases.
