OverviewAI-generated summary

Dr. Gary M. Wessel's research encompasses a broad range of topics within marine and developmental biology, with a particular emphasis on echinoderms. His work delves into the molecular mechanisms underlying fundamental processes such as fertilization, as evidenced by studies identifying the essential role of bindin in sea urchin fertilization. Wessel's group also investigates tubulogenesis, using the sea star hydro-vascular organ as a model. Furthermore, his expertise extends to gene regulation and the application of CRISPR/Cas9 technology for gene manipulation in echinoderms. More recently, Wessel's work has explored germ cell specification, highlighting a conserved regulatory node in Vasa.
