The world’s oceans harbor immense potential for addressing critical challenges such as healthcare, food security, and environmental sustainability. At the forefront of this exploration is Prof. Smadar Ben-Tabou de-Leon's lab, whose groundbreaking research focuses on sea urchins. These enigmatic creatures hold secrets that can revolutionize our understanding of embryo development, biodiversity, marine ecosystems and thus, benefit humanity in profound ways. At the Regulation and Evolution of Development (RED) Lab, Prof. Ben-Tabou de-Leon's team delves into understanding the molecular and genetic pathways that control sea urchin embryogenesis, laying the foundation for transformative advancements in various fields.
