Wenk Lab

The Wenk Lab specializes in understanding how cells sense and respond to their environment by studying cell signaling and membrane processes. They focus on how cellular membranes and their components influence functions like communication, transport, and response to signals. Using advanced imaging and biochemical techniques, the lab investigates how these processes impact health and disease, including cancer and neurological disorders. Their work aims to uncover fundamental cellular mechanisms that could lead to new targeted therapies and improve our understanding of cell biology.
