David Ornitz is an Alumni Endowed Professor in the Department of Developmental Biology at Washington University School of Medicine. His research uses molecular, genetic, and biochemical approaches to study mesodermal and epithelial patterning, organogenesis, tissue homeostasis, and response to injury. Current studies use conditional knockout and conditional gene activation technology to study Fibroblast Growth Factors, FGF receptors, and a variety of other interacting signaling pathways (hedgehog, Wnt, BMP, TGFβ, VEGF) in the mouse embryo and in adult mice. Current projects focus on the skeletal, cardiovascular, and pulmonary systems. Additional information about Dr. Ornitz’s research is available at: http://ornitzlab.wustl.edu/
