Our lab studies how signal transduction pathways are spatially organized within cells.

Translocation of β-arrestin1 upon stimulation of a GPCR, the vasoactive intestinal peptide receptor 1 (VIPR1), in a HEK293 cell.

Robust signal transduction relies upon the precise spatiotemporal coordination of biochemical processes within the cell. Our lab investigates the molecular mechanisms underpinning this coordination, using G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) as a model system to understand how subcellular organization encodes signal transduction.

The lab will be opening in the Department of Genetics, Cell Biology, and Development at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities in early 2025.
