RESEARCH SUMMARY
How neural progenitor cells generate and regenerate the vast cellular diversity of the nervous system is a fundamental biological question. To address this question, I will utilize the sea anemone Nematostella vectensis to identify intrinsic and extrinsic factors that regulate neural progenitor cell fate decisions during nervous system development and regeneration.
