Brian Nelms, PhD
Brian Nelms is a postdoctoral fellow in the Labosky lab. He received his Ph.D. in Biochemistry, Microbiology, and Molecular Biology (BMMB) in August 2006 from Penn State University. His thesis research was on gene regulation during C.elegans development. Shortly after his graduate studies ended, Brian came to Vanderbilt to initiate his training in mouse developmental biology as part of the Labosky lab. Brian is currently supported by an NIH training grant fellowship in Reproductive Biology and has had previous support in the form of an American Heart Association Postdoctoral Fellowship. His research projects include investigating a genetic interaction between Foxd3 and Pax3 in the cardiac neural crest (a subset of the important neural crest population that has the ability to contribute cells to a diverse spectrum of cell types) and the generation of transgenic mouse lines and mouse embryonic stem cell lines to be used as tools for probing Foxd3 function.
