Marianne Bronner is a developmental biologist who currently serves as Edward B. Lewis Professor of Biology and an executive officer for Neurobiology at the California Institute of Technology.

[1] Bronner's research focuses on studying the cellular events behind the migration, differentiation, and formation of neural crest cells.

[1] Bronner spent 16 years at the University of California, Irvine and eventually became the associate director of the Developmental Biology Center.

[4] The lab focuses most of its research on how neural crest cells arise and the factors involving their migration from the neural tube to different positions in the embryo in addition to the evolution of these cells.

[4] One project focuses on characterizing the structures involved with neural crest cell movements.
