A major focus of the lab is the study of the primary cilium, a once-obscure cellular organelle that is now appreciated for its role in a number of signaling pathways (hedgehog, PDGF, Wnt,..). Most fascinatingly, defects in cilium biogenesis lead to a variety of human disorders such as retinal degeneration, kidney cysts, obesity, polydactyly, randomization of left-right asymmetry, etc. | |||
