Research
The goal of my research is to understand how cell geometry controls biological activities through the spatial organization of signaling components. My lab is focused on the long-standing question of how the size and shape of a cell can trigger cell cycle transitions, a connection that generates cell size checkpoints in a wide range of cell types. For this work, we use the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe as a model system because of its simple geometry and genetic tools. By combining multi-generational microscopy with controlled changes in cell shape, we seek to uncover how physical geometry can act as an “input” signal to direct the “output” function of a signaling cascade.
