NIH research grant awarded to University of Oregon to study cytoskeletal function in C. elegans embryos over a multiyear period using advanced microscopy and molecular genetics.
Description
Research grant to investigate mechanisms that regulate the cytoskeleton during cell division in Caenorhabditis elegans using molecular genetics, light microscopy, and atomic force microscopy. Goals include understanding cytoskeletal regulation, acentrosomal spindle assembly, and microtubule roles in the cortex with applications to cancer, fertility, and tissue engineering.
