SCIENTIFIC ADVANCES IN HUMAN DEVELOPMENT AND DISEASE
The Tischfield lab utilizes transgenic mice to model biological processes related to human development and the pathogenesis of disease. We place a special emphasis on understanding:
Brain development and physiology
Craniofacial development and complex tissue interactions that pattern the skull, underlying blood vessels, and surrounding neural tissue
The development and maintenance of meningeal lymphatic vessels and CNS waste drainage pathways
The lab, established in January 2018, resides in the Child Health Institute of New Jersey, Robert Wood Johnson Medical School.
