Research Abstract

Our laboratory uses Drosophila as a model system to characterize evolutionary conserved signaling transduction pathways. Our current studies focus on the analysis of Wnt, EGF Receptor, and JAK/STAT signaling transduction pathways. In addition, other projects in the lab focus on the characterization of signaling pathways that regulate the establishment of polarity and cytoskeletal organization.
