Julianne Smith (Developmental Biologist)

Julianne Smith is a developmental biologist who studies how organisms grow and develop from a single cell into complex beings. She examines the molecular and cellular processes that guide this development, such as how genes are turned on and off, and how cells communicate and organize to form tissues and organs. Her research helps us understand normal development, embryonic growth, and developmental disorders, providing insights that can lead to advances in medicine, regenerative therapies, and understanding congenital diseases.
