Developmental Biology Program
The Alexandra Joyner Lab
Research

Professor
The Joyner lab studies how genes regulate the cell behaviors (proliferation, differentiation, migration) that underlie organ development, tissue repair and cancer. They focus on the brain where stem cells must produce hundreds of cell types at the right times and in the correct numbers, and the cells then migrate to the correct positions and synapse with partners. The lab uses sophisticated mouse genetics approaches to probe how cell-cell communication and cell intrinsic genetic programs determine the way by which normal cerebellar circuitry is established and regulates behaviors, or are disrupted in diseases including cancer.

Disclosures
Doctors and faculty members often work with pharmaceutical, device, biotechnology, and life sciences companies, and other organizations outside of MSK, to find safe and effective cancer treatments, to improve patient care, and to educate the health care community.
MSK requires doctors and faculty members to report (“disclose”) the relationships and financial interests they have with external entities. As a commitment to transparency with our community, we make that information available to the public.
