Ken S. ZaretPresented by:
Ken S. Zaret, Ph.D.
Professor, Department of Cell and Developmental Biology
School of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania

The goal of Dr. Ken Zaret's laboratory is to understand how genes are activated and different cell types are specified in embryonic development. These processes involve regulatory mechanisms that are used later in life to maintain human health, to respond to tissue damage, and during the initiation of cancers and other human diseases.
