Kaverina, Irina N. Associate Professor How Microtubule-Actin Cytoskeleton Interplay Drives Cell Motility
Lee, Ethan Associate Professor My laboratory is interested in understanding the basic mechanisms by which a Wnt signal is propagated to coordinate the formation tissues, organs, and limbs and to understand how its misregulation can lead to disease states such as cancer in humans.
Lee, Laura Associate Professor My laboratory uses a combination of biochemical and genetic approaches to study developmental regulation of the cell cycle in Drosophila melanogaster.
