My current postdoctoral studies in the Lab of Dr. Andras Kapus focus on a surprising non-transcriptional role of a transcriptional co-activator at the primary cilium, a new cell biological mechanism relevant to fibrosis.
Quantitative fluorescence microscopy,
molecular biology, CRISPR,
super-resolution microscopy.
A small freshwater invertebrate yields new insights into biology of human health and disease including cilia. This work follows from my postdoctoral training with Dr. Bret Pearson at SickKids (Toronto).
Publications coming soon!
Meanwhile, adventures with planarians continue at UTSC, where the planarians and I are visitors in the Lab of Dr. Ina Anreiter (Drosophila epigentics).
