个人简介
My lab is interested in the fundamental mechanisms that cells use to accurately distribute their genetic material. Defects in this process lead to aneuploidy and genomic instability, which are hallmarks of cancer. Using a combination of biochemistry, biophysics, cell biology, and high resolution imaging techniques we ask about how cells control mitotic fidelity.
The process of mitosis is carried out by a remarkable cellular machine, called the mitotic spindle, which is composed of microtubules and hundreds of associated proteins. This structure is highly dynamic, which raises the perplexing question of how the cell can use such a dynamic structure to carry out a process in which the chromosomes need to stay attached to the spindle itself. The spindle microtubules are also the target of multiple anti-neoplastic agents that are used as front-line treatments for multiple cancers. In addition, many of the spindle associated motors that we study are highly mis-expressed in numerous cancers and are correlated with poor prognosis. Together our studies are focused on understanding the molecular mechanisms by which the spindle and spindle proteins function in both the normal and tumor state so that we can uncover novel ways to prevent tumor cell proliferation.
