Schupbach has made numerous seminal contributions to understanding oogenesis and embryonic patterning. She co-discovered the vasa gene, and many others required for egg development. Her rigorous molecular analysis of these genes has revealed multiple mechanisms by which somatic tissues interact with the oocyte to establish the embryonic axes.
