Heidi Hehnly — The Hehnly lab at Syracuse University focuses on understanding how the Left-Right Organizer (LRO) develops in vertebrates, particularly through the role of cilia. They use zebrafish as a model to study how different types of cilia contribute to the left-right axis formation in developing organisms. Their research aims to uncover the mechanisms that guide cilia formation and function, which is important for proper heart development and other ciliated tissues.
