| Description: | Bacteria, formerly viewed as miniature bags of randomly distributed chemicals, are in fact highly polarized, possess a cytoskeleton, and depend critically on this surprisingly exquisite cellular organization for many cellular functions.
Our laboratory studies the molecular mechanisms involved in this internal organization at multiple levels, from its origin, maintenance and replication in time and space to its function in cell morphogenesis and cell cycle regulation. We use the morphologically polarized and crescent-shaped bacterium Caulobacter crescentus as a model. The NIH Director's Wednesday Afternoon Lecture Series includes weekly scientific talks by some of the top researchers in the biomedical sciences worldwide. |
