Karen Bennett
Professor
Molecular Microbiology & Immunology
Research:
Developmental and molecular biology of nematodes, Ascaris suum, Caenorhabditis elegans, and Ascaris lumbricoides.
Nematodes (round worms) are excellent models for cell-lineage studies. By the 30-cell stage, a single primordial germ cell is determined to become the entire germline of the adult. To study the molecular basis of germline determination, the free-living worm Caenorhabditis elegans is being used.
