Research in the Campellone Lab
Cytoskeletal control of membrane remodeling in health, aging, and disease
Our research goals are to determine (1) how the cytoskeleton controls the organization, shape, and movement of cells and their internal components; (2) how cytoskeletal remodeling is altered by infectious microbes and genetic mutations; and (3) how cytoskeletal functions affect biological aging. We use a combination of bioinformatic, genetic, biochemical, molecular, cellular, and organismal approaches to study these processes.

In the June issue of MBoC from @ASCBiology, Coulter & Cortes et al show that the actin nucleation factor WHAMM is important for kidney structure and function in mice. Proximal tubules from WT and WHAMM KO mice are shown (WGA in cyan and actin in magenta). https://www.molbiolcell.org/doi/pdf/10.1091/mbc.E24-01-0025
Welcome to the 2024 EAGR Scholars: Milad Zameeri, Emily Szydlo, Lizzy Parkerson, RoseMina Notch, Bailey Millis, and Kelsey Gorgei!

Finally grad wknd part3: Congrats to the latest undergrad star Lianna Wagner, BS - actin' up, branching out, and being stung by WASP-family puns in '23-'24.
Grad wknd part2: Congrats to former undergrad star Nate Leclair, MD/PhD - from a "GMY" BS and scorpion bowl celebration in '16 to an MD/PhD and beaver at Ted's in '24! Sloan-Kettering is getting a great one. (throwback to @zimzim19 too, now with the Red Sox)
