UGA Cellular Biology is proud to present Dr. Munisha Mumingjiang.

Dr. Mumingjiang’s researched focused on studying cell fate specification and differentiation in vertebrate early embryonic development. She identified a novel role of Max Gene Associated protein (Mga) during Zebrafish neural crest development. She found that Mga drives neural crest specification independent of Myc activity, and may play a unique role as a molecular switch to control cell proliferation and differentiation in early embryogenesis.
