  Academic Report: Cross talk between hypoxia and growth factor signaling in early development

  Research in the Duan lab is directed towards understanding how peptide growth factors act to control vertebrate growth and development. Our current research focuses on the insulin-like growth factor (IGF) signaling system, including the IGF ligands, IGF binding proteins, IGF receptors, and the downstream signal transduction mechanisms. The Duan lab uses both mammals and zebrafish as experimental models.
