CLEMENS CABERNARD, UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON
How developing organisms generate and maintain cells with specialized functions and fates is a fundamental problem in biology. The Cabernard lab is investigating asymmetric cell division (ACD), a process that generates cellular diversity. They are using Drosophila melanogaster neuroblasts, the neural stem cells in the fly as a model to study the molecular cell biology and mechanics of asymmetric stem cell division.
