Ciliogenesis Laboratory

A Ciliogenesis Laboratory studies how cilia, tiny hair-like structures on cell surfaces, are formed and function. Cilia play vital roles in moving fluids, sensing the environment, and signaling within the body. The lab investigates the cellular processes that build cilia, understand how they work normally, and explore how their dysfunction can lead to health issues like respiratory diseases or genetic disorders. This research can help develop treatments for cilia-related conditions and advance our understanding of cell biology and communication.
