Jacqueline Tabler

Jacqueline transitioned to craniofacial biology after her PhD with Jeremy Green at Kings College London where she studied cell polarity and differentiation in Xenopus. During her postdoc between the labs of Karen Liu, KCL and John Wallingford at the University of Texas at Austin she found that early neural crest expansion drives ciliopathic craniofacial phenotypes such as high-arched palate, laryngeal dysgenesis and vocalization defects. In her independent work at the Max-Planck Institute of Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics, she combines live and fixed tissue imaging with theoretical approaches to explore biophysical control of morphogenesis and fate balance in the mammalian skull.
