Mentor Areas

The Bashaw Lab research interests include: 

  • Molecular mechanisms of axon growth and guidance during nervous system development
  • How axon guidance receptors specify attractive and repulsive signals and transmit these signals to the navigating growth cone
  • Formation of Neural Circuits at the Midline; Transcriptional Regulation of Neuronal Morphogenesis
  • Generation of Neuronal Diversity

The Bashaw Lab uses both Drosophila and mice to investigate these questions
