Centrosome biology

We study a tiny organelle named centrosome in the cell. The centrosome helps organize microtubules, the "skeletons" of the cell, so the cell can keep its shape and perform its function. A broken centrosome can cause many different human diseases.

​We use cells grown in dishes and zebrafish as the models to study how the centrosome is formed and does its job, and why centrosome defects can lead to human diseases.
