Our laboratory studies the protein-tyrosine
kinase, Syk, and its role in the regulation of B cell activation
through the B cell antigen receptor. In B cells, Syk associates
with tubulin and phosphorylates the a-subunit on tyrosine.

Our laboratory studies the specialized
cytoskeleton of the neuron and its role in organelle transport,
axonal outgrowth and the distribution and subcellular localization
of mRNA.

Konieczny
The research in our laboratory is focused on characterizing
the cytoskeletal elements that are integral to skeletal and
cardiac muscle function in normal individuals as well as in
several mouse genetic models in which specific components
of the contractile apparatus have been inactivated.
Sophie A. Lelievre
Emphasis is on the organization of the
cell nucleus and gene expression, cell membrane-nucleus bi-directional
signaling, and genomic instability.

We are interested in the cytoskeletal
arrays and signal transduction cascades necessary for rhabdomere
development in the Drosophila eye.

Research in my laboratory is aimed at understanding the role
of protein aggregation in neurological and muscular disorders.
Chris J. Staiger
Our
laboratory studies cytoskeletal function during plant reproduction.
We are interested in the regulation of actin polymerization
by actin-binding proteins during microsporogenesis and pollen
development. We are also interested in how pollen tube growth
responds to extracellular stimuli.

We are interested in the molecular mechanisms
of neuronal growth cone motility and axon guidance. Using
advanced live cell imaging techniques and molecular approaches,
our goal is to understand how cell surface receptors, signal
transduction and cytoskeletal proteins interact to produce
directed cell movements.

Our
laboratory examines the role of the cytoskeleton during epidermal
morphogenesis in Arabidopsis.

study the molecular mechanisms of interactions between Salmonella
typhimurium and their host cells. Identification and characterization
of bacterial and cellular proteins that are involved in Salmonella-induced
actin cytoskeletal rearrangements.
