 EERING SEMINAR\n\nAbstract:\nIn vertebrates\, cardiovascular progenitors a
 rise along with kidney\, smooth muscle\, and limb skeleton lineages from l
 ateral plate mesoderm (LPM). How LPM is specified and what molecular featu
 res connect its distinct cell fates remain vaguely defined\, in part due t
 o the LPM’s dynamic architecture. By combining live imaging\, cis-regula
 tory element analysis\, and cross-species reporter assays centered on the 
 zebrafish\, we are charting the emergence of the LPM and trace its control
  back to an evolutionarily conserved regulatory program. These findings pr
 ovide a paradigm for the origins of essential parts in the vertebrate body
  plan and establish a genetic basis for the programming of cardiovascular 
 lineages in vitro.\n\nBio:\n\n	since Spring 2013:\n	SNSF/SNF Assistant Pro
