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.

We are located in the Department of Genetics, Cell Biology, and Development at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities.
