Professional Bio

Chris completed his PhD in the Richtsmeier Lab in 2013 and moved to the University of Calgary to complete a postdoc with Benedikt Hallgrímsson and Ralph Marcucio. Chris remains interested in how changes to the development of craniofacial bones can produce evolutionarily relevant changes in the skull. He will continue to work with animal models in an effort to elucidate bases of craniofacial variation; including variation in gene expression and the role of angiogenesis during intramembranous osteogenesis.
