Her research program is focused on understanding the roles of Fibroblast Growth Factors and Tbx3 in normal embryonic development, senescene and cancer. Dr. Moon’s laboratory generated and employed mouse models of human cardiac and limb defects, such del22q11 and Ulnar-mammary syndrome. Her lab applies molecular and biochemical approaches in mouse models to dissect the mechanisms that control cell fate and survival during normal and abnormal morphogenesis and cancer. Her research expertise includes molecular genetics, developmental and molecular biology, cardiovascular development and disease, and mouse models of human disease.
