Research Interests & Areas
My scientific and intellectual pursuits center around fundamental questions about molecular-level dynamic processes in cells. My goal is to decipher how microtubules and molecular motor proteins function and how they are regulated to achieve cellular organization and homeostasis. For more information please see my lab website.
