A new publication in Current Biology, by Swati Suryavanshi, a cellular biology graduate student in the Gaertig lab, identifies a novel mechanism of regulation of dynein motors inside cilia. The beating of cilia is dependent on dynein motors that slide microtubules.
Dr. Roberto Docampo and two other University of Georgia researchers in the Franklin College of Arts and Sciences have been elected Fellows of the American Academy of Microbiology.
Cellular Biology professor was named to this new endowed chair in the biological sciences.
Graduate student Shilpa Akella and postdoctoral associate Dorota Wloga publish their discovery of a novel regulator of microtubules in Nature. This work represents a collaboration between three Cellular Biology laboratories (Gaertig, Dougan and Kipreos) and the Morrissette lab at UC Irvine.
Drs. Roberto Docampo and Daniel Colley were named fellows of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
