<font size="2" face="Arial"><span lang="en-US">The actin cytoskeleton plays a central role in multiple biological processes including muscle contraction, cell motility, cell division, endocytosis, and phagocytosis. Because abnormalities in various actin-dependent
processes are typical to cancer cells and during infection processes of several pathogenic microbes, detailed knowledge of the function and regulation of the actin cytoskeleton will also shed light on the principles of these pathological states. Our laboratory
uses a wide range of cell biology, light microscopy imaging, biochemistry and genetic methods to elucidate how the actin cytoskeleton is regulated during various cellular processes.
