However, recent studies have indicated new roles for centrosomes in cytokinesis and cell-cycle progression. Is it possible that a common 'thread' connects all three sets of findings? Careful ...

Centrosomes are small structures in cells with many essential functions, including roles in cell signaling and in organizing a cell’s cytoskeleton. Centrosome dysfunction contributes to diseases like ...

It is now well-established that spindles are bipolar arrays of microtubules composed of tubulin (Figure 5) and that the centrosomes nucleate the growth of the spindle microtubules. During mitosis ...

The goal of my research is to understand the biogenesis of centrioles/centrosomes and primary cilia, and how defects in these processes affect mammalian cell physiology and evoke stress responses.
