The Israeli developmental biology community encompasses several dozens of research groups engaged in the exploration of the different cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying the highly coordinated development of multicellular organisms. Local researchers virtually utilize all the well-established model organisms (e.g., fly, worm, fish, mouse, plants, etc.), and the varied research touches almost every aspect in the area of developmental biology.
