During the development of a complex adult organism, cells become progressively more specialized. These specialized cells must form in the right place and at the right time. This program focuses on the molecular and cellular mechanisms that cells use to achieve this.

This is a revolutionary area of science. By manipulating and mutating genes, introducing new genes into embryos and suppressing gene expression, scientists are starting to comprehend the way genes control development. This can be exploited for disease therapy or for industrial applications.
