Lorette C. Javois, Ph.D., joined the staff of the DBGT Branch in 2000 and is responsible for administering the program on organogenesis, including the areas of limb development, somitogenesis, chondrogenesis, and myogenesis. She received her doctorate in biology from Purdue University, where she studied pattern formation using the developing vertebrate limb as a model system. She continued to study aspects of pattern formation using the coelenterate, hydra, while doing her postdoctoral training at the Developmental Biology Center at the University of California, Irvine. Prior to coming to NICHD, she spent 14 years on the biology faculty at the Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C., conducting research on cellular and molecular pattern formation and teaching developmental biology and anatomy. Dr. Javois coordinates the Branch's Birth Defects Initiative, is active on the Trans-NIH Zebrafish Coordinating Committee, and serves as the NICHD's representative on a number of trans-NIH projects including Knockout Mouse Project and the Blueprint Neuromouse Working Groups.
