Biography summary:

Kim Dale studied her PhD in Marysia Placzek’s lab at NIMR, Mill Hill London on dorsoventral patterning of the neural tube by Shh along the anteroposterior body axis in early developing chick and mice embryos. She joined Olivier Pourquie’s lab as a postdoc to work on the vertebrate segmentation clock, particularly focussing on the role of Notch signalling in that system, first in the Campus de Luminy Marseille and then in the Stowers, Kansas City, USA. She moved to Dundee University in 2005 to set up her own lab as a Royal Society University Research Fellow. The broad interest of the laboratory aims to further our understanding of how several genetic interactions come into play at the earliest stages of development to build the developing embryo.

The lab has focussed recently on the role the Notch pathway plays in two key developmental processes, namely somitogenesis and cell fate acquisition during early stages of neurogenesis in the developing vertebrate embryo.
