Research Interests: Epithelial cells line the organs of animals and organize microtubules in parallel arrays. During development, tissue homeostasis, and cancer, epithelial cells often divide and temporarily reorganizing microtubules into mitotic spindles . I am using the developing C. elegans intestine as an in vivo model to understand the physical protein links and the molecular signals that allow epithelial cells to toggle between different microtubule arrangements during the cell cycle.
