and adhesion molecules while shaping epithelial tissue architecture. During embryonic development, tissue establishment is made possible by cell shape changes and migration. Defects in these processes are the cause of disruption during developmental processes like neural tube closure, disfiguring skin diseases and congenital defects of the ear, vasculature and palate (ex: cleft palate). Currently, my research has focused on defining the molecular machinery that drives how cytoskeletal
