Patrick Tam sponsors free access to F1000 for Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University. Supporting F1000's initiative to make itself available to scientists in all countries, including free access to developing countries (more details). | Biography
Dr Patrick Tam is a Senior Principal Research Fellow of the Faculty of Medicine, University of Sydney and the Head of Embryology Unit at the Children's Medical Research Institute. His research focuses on the elucidation of the cellular and molecular mechanisms of the tissue patterning and the development of the craniofacial structures in the mouse embryo. Specifically, he examines the morphogenetic role of the mouse gastrula organizer in patterning the neural primordium during early embryogenesis. He pioneers the application of micromanipulation and embryo culture for analysing tissue potency and lineage specification in mutant embryos generated by gene targeting.
Dr David Leobel, Kimberly-Clark Research Fellow of my research team, assists me with the evaluations for Faculty of 1000.
