Asymmetric Cell Division in the Model Organism C. elegans (Bob Goldstein Lab)
Research Strengths
Cell Biology
Cell biologists are studying the inner workings of the cell from protein structure to dynamics and trafficking to how organs are formed. We use molecular genetics to manipulate proteins in cells and microscopy, mass spectrometry, mathematical modeling and other analytical platforms to understand cellular function.
