The Parichy Lab was recently awarded a prestigious, 5-year $2.6M R35 grant from the National Institute of Health (NIH). This new grant, "Developmental origins and homeostatic mechanisms underlying adult phenotypes", will support integrative research on mechanisms of long-distance communication, genetic and cellular bases of pigment cell development and pigment pattern evolution, and hormonal controls of fate specification, homeostasis and melanoma susceptibility.

Provided by the National Institutes of General Medical Sciences through the Maximizing Investigators' Research Award (R35) program, this grant will give them the flexibility to explore new areas and go wherever science takes them! Find out more by visiting the Parichy Lab website.
