Lab Description:
Our lab is interested in the engineering design principles that underly cellular morphogenesis. We want to understand how the three-dimensional geometry of cells can be encoded in a one-dimensional genome and developed into varying cellular architectures under genetic control. We are investigating this question at the level of individual organelles (centrioles, cilia, and mitochondria) as well as through studies of the overall architecture of cells. We are particularly interested in the control of organelle size and copy number, and in the role of biological self-replication processes. Our lab uses a combination of genomic, proteomic, imaging, and mathematical modeling approaches.
