-
Sierra Cole graduate student Cellular Organization and Membrane Dynamics: second-year grad student, Sierra Cole (Gladfelter lab) presented a poster “Identification and Classification of RNA within Whi3 Droplet-Associated Transcriptome.”
-
Brandy Curtis, graduate student Cellular Organization and Membrane Dynamics: third-year grad student, Brandy Curtis (Gladfelter lab) presented a poster on Cellular Organization and Membrane Dynamics. The poster title is “An investigation into septin-membrane interactions.”
Mechanotransduction & Durotaxis: Reem Hakeem (Bear Lab) presented a poster on “Defining the requirements for single-cell fibroblast durotaxis” She describes how cells migrate in response to substrate stiffness and describes a new durotaxis assay system from Bear lab.-
