Deciphering the tubulin code of mechanobiology
We have applied cell biology and synthetic biology approaches to establish a causal relationship between microtubule post-translational modifications and actomyosin contractility in migrating cells.
Bio:
Dr. Deb Roy obtained his PhD in Biomedical Sciences from UConn Health, where he studied molecular interactions between bone cells. He did his post-doctoral fellowship at Johns Hopkins Medical Institute on the crosstalk between actin and microtubules. His lab at UConn Health investigates cytoskeletal dynamics and cell motility.
