Summary of research in each CCD lab.
Cavener lab
Doug Cavener's lab studies metabolism, endoplasmic reticulum function and diabetes using mouse models.
Chen lab
The focus of research in Gong Chen's lab is neuronal polarity and synapse formation. The lab is also interested in endocytic pathways in neurons and glia.
Cyr lab
Richard Cyr's lab studies microtubule organization and dynamics in growing and developing plant cells.
Hanna-Rose lab
Wendy Hanna-Rose's lab uses C. elegans as a model to study the cell biology of development.
Lai lab
In Zhi-Chun Lai's lab we study the control of tissue growth and organ size by the Hippo signaling pathway.
Luscher lab
Bernhard Luscher's lab studies the structure and function of GABAergic inhibitory synapses.
Schlegel lab
Bob Schlegel’s lab studies plasma membrane phospholipid asymmetry in normal cells, and how it changes during apoptosis.
Yengo lab
Chris Yengo's lab investigates the biochemistry, biophysics and cell biology of myosin motors.
