The Sagerstrom research group is part of a highly cohesive academic unit in the Section of Developmental Biology within the Department of Pediatrics. The Section of Developmental Biology is committed to research that improves child health with five main objectives:
-
Understand the genetic, molecular, and cellular mechanisms that guide normal development
-
Determine how normal developmental processes are altered to result in developmental disease and disability
-
Identify new diagnostic strategies and molecular and cellular therapies targeted at the treatment of childhood diseases
-
Train the next generation of leaders in developmental and stem cell biology and pediatric disease research
