Multicellularity is based on cell communication for the correct allocation of cell fates and the maintenance of tissue homeostasis. We are studying how stem cells behave in different tissues and times using Drosophila as a model. Within this context, we focus on transcriptional and chromatin regulation during cell fate acquisition. We combine genetics, genomics and imaging to study and understand cellular crosstalk and complex biological developmental processes.
