LUKE hAYDEN

cURRICULUM vITAE

October 2009 - present: National University of Ireland, Galway, Ireland. PhD candidate in the evolutionary developmental biology laboratory under the supervision of Professor Wallace Arthur and Dr. Gerhard Schlosser.

June - September 2009: University College Dublin, Ireland. Research assistant in the laboratory of Dr. Kay Nolan.

September 2005 – June 2009: University College Dublin, Ireland. Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Zoology, 1^st class.

Research Interests

My doctoral work is in the emerging field of evolutionary developmental biology, where my research concerns the little-studied centipedes (Chilopoda), where my central focus is on the genes of the Wntfamily. The various strands of my research include:

• The development mechanisms underlying segmentation

• Conserved mechanisms of anteroposterior growth and development

• The development of novel structures

• The evolution of segment number variability in Strigamia maritima
