Located in the Department of Genetics at the Washington University School of Medicine in Saint Louis, Missouri, the Schedl lab studies germline development of the soil nematode C. elegans. We use genetic, genomic, molecular, cellular and developmental approaches to investigate:

• The decision between germline stem cell proliferation and meiotic development
• Progression through meiotic prophase & gametogenesis
• Mitochondria and germline development
• Germline sex determination
