Research project funded by NIGMS to study cytokinesis and septin cytoskeleton mechanisms using advanced imaging and yeast models, targeting insights into cell division and related diseases.
Description
The project aims to understand the architecture and mechanisms of cytokinesis and septin remodeling using yeast models and advanced imaging techniques. It focuses on the roles of cytokinesis and the septin cytoskeleton in cell proliferation and differentiation, with implications for diseases such as cancer, infertility, and neurodegenerative diseases.
