Cells
consist of many discrete compartments designated for specific functions. The
combined research laboratory of David Drubin and Georjana Barnes is addressing
how specific cellular processes are performed in distinct sub-cellular
localities, and the dynamics and regulation of these processes. The biological
problems under investigation include actin cytoskeleton dynamics and actin
mediation of endocytosis, Golgi trafficking, and viral budding. Also being investigated are fundamental mechanisms of chromosome segregation, with a particular emphasis on the kinetochore, the structure that attaches chromosomes to the mitotic spindle. Investigations are being carried out in budding yeast and in mammalian cells. A panoply of approaches is being applied to these research problems, including real-time live-cell imaging, biochemistry, genetics, and molecular genetics. |
