Tim Weil's research aims to address the fundamental question of how a single cell becomes a fully functioning organism. The group is looking to understand the mechanisms that underpin the spatial and temporal coordination of egg and early embryo development, with a particular interest in the role of biomolecular condensates in the regulation of mRNAs at these stages.
