Dr. Ram Dixit: Microtubules and their motors in plant cell biology.
Dr. Susan Dutcher: Assembly and function of cilia.
Dr. Michael Greenberg: Myosin-based contractile functions at the level of molecules, cells and tissues.
Dr. Silvia Jansen: Mechanisms of actin dynamics using single molecule approaches.
Dr. David Kast: Structural and functional basis of cytoskeleton-membrane interactions.
Dr. Greg Longmore: Migration of cancer cells.
Dr. Moe Mahjoub: Assembly and function of cilia in renal systems.
Dr. Celeste Morley: Immune-cell migration and motility.
