  • Assistant Professor of Biology | Department of Biology | lnervo@plu.edu | 253-535-7376 | My discipline of interest is developmental biology, which is the study of the processes needed for animals and plants to grow and develop.  Developmental Biology is an excellent field that intersects, genetics, cell biology, molecular biology, physiology and comparative anatomy to answer key organismal growth questions.

    interest is developmental biology, which is the study of the processes needed for animals and plants to grow and develop.  Developmental Biology is an excellent field that intersects, genetics, cell biology, molecular biology, physiology and comparative anatomy to answer key organismal growth questions. My research specifically focuses on how organisms build tissues during animal embryo development. Building the animal body and maintaining tissue homeostasis (equilibrium) requires the coordinated
