Professor Rosenthal’s research focuses on muscle and cardiac developmental genetics and the role of growth factors, stem cells and the immune system in tissue regeneration. Her work the biology of insulin-like growth factors has led to significant advances in novel cell-based therapies for muscle ageing and heart disease. She is a global leader in the use of targeted mutagenesis in mice to investigate muscle development, disease, and repair, and is a participant in EUCOMM, the European Conditional Mouse Mutagenesis Program, where she coordinates the selection and production of new Cre driver strains for the international mouse genetics community.
