Antonio Planchart
Bio
My overarching research goal is to understand how complex interactions between environmental contaminants and proteins lead to altered cell function during embryogenesis, and consequently to errors in development. I am especially interested in how external factors of natural and human origin alter protein function and produce abnormal transcriptional outputs during the establishment of organ systems. Our model organism is the zebrafish (Danio rerio). My background is broad and includes training in crystallography and biophysics, molecular genetics, and developmental biology, and I am a self-taught toxicologist.
