Adjunct Professor
Expertise: Calcium signaling, Genetics, Model organisms
Dr. Aponte Santiago studies the calcium signaling pathway, crucial for proper development and linked to human developmental diseases. During her Ph.D. at the Littleton lab at MIT, she investigated two subclasses of motoneurons with different responses to calcium activity and developed a system to study synaptic competition. However, studying calcium signaling in the whole embryo is challenging due to the complex processes involved and the unique responses of different cell types to calcium…
