John McKay (biologist)

John McKay is a biologist known for his research in developmental biology and cell signaling. He studies how cells communicate and coordinate during growth, which helps reveal how complex organisms develop from single cells. His work has advanced understanding of processes like cell differentiation and organ formation, with implications for regenerative medicine and understanding diseases such as cancer. McKay’s research often involves using model organisms like fruit flies and mice to uncover fundamental biological mechanisms that are relevant to human health.
