Major Field of Interest

Biophysics and control of actin-based eukaryotic cell motility

Current Research

  1. Measurement of actin binding protein kinetics from light microscopic observations of individual binding/undbinding events
  2. In vitro reconstitution of a model "leading cell edge" from purified proteins
  3. Development of novel light microscopy and image analysis techniques to observe motility in vitro and in vivo
  4. Isolation and characterization of individual motile cells from C. elegans (worm) larvae
