What are authors:

Authors of this Web-site are working at the Sechenov Institute for Evolutionary Physiology and Biochemistry under the Russian Academy of Science (IEPhB RAS), 44, M. Thorez, St-Petersburg, 194223, Russia.
We are a small but energetic team including three experts, as follows from left to right:

Ekatherina Magnitskaya (Savostyanova), PHD, Junior Researcher, Laboratory of Mathematical Simulation of Evolution (now unemployed)
Gennady Savostyanov, Dr. Sci. in Biology & PhD in Medicine, Senior Res. Worker, Laboratory of Sensory Organ Evolution;
Nadezhda M. Grefner, PhD, assistant professor, Laboratory of Cell`s uitrastrucrures, Res. Inst. of Citology, St-Petersburg, Russia.

The subject of the investigation:

• 1) Origin and development of elementary units of multicellularuty;
• 2) Predictible and measurable developmental biology; Evolutionary histology, modular structure of tissues, cell sheets as a 2-D, 3-D and 4-D regular cell latice;
• 3) Epithelium morphogenesis both in normal and abnormal development (malignant growth in particular).

Research methods:

• Topology and geometry modelling of elementary multicellular units as well as 3-D architecture of epithelia, Computer simulation;
• Light microscopy, TEM, SEM, confocal microscopy.
