Dr. Crystal Rogers is an Assistant Professor of Anatomy, Physiology & Cell Biology at the School of Veterinarian Medicine. Her research interest is in identifying and characterizing genes and proteins involved in the specification of these tissues and those controlling the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT). The Rogers Lab focuses on understanding the molecular mechanisms that control early development in vertebrate embryos.
