Study of cell shape remodelling during mitosis
FY 2013-14
Summary
Cell division is central to life. During our life time, our body sees many trillion rounds of cell divisions. To transmit our genetic material to its progeny, a dividing cell uses complex mechanisms. My laboratory discovered the essential role of ERM proteins in regulating cell division. This project aims to provide a better understanding on how ERM proteins are regulated during cell division. Deregulation of cell division leads to cancer, therefore our study will likely impact the development of new therapeutic strategies against this devastating disease.
