We study how living things build themselves. Core approaches are molecular biophysics and cryo-ET. We also work closely with developmental and computational biologists. Will post about new results, relevant meetings, and cool papers from collaborators.

With help from Danelle Devenport and Jessica Feldman, Maddy and I are making the conference a home for the cell polarity community. The scientific synergies are obvious, and I'm excited to see these two communities together.

2026 Signaling by Adhesion Receptors Conference GRC The 2026 Gordon Research Conference on Signaling by Adhesion Receptors will be held in Manchester, New Hampshire. Apply today to reserve your spot.

Mark your calendars, the Signaling by Adhesion Receptors GRC is June 7 - 12, 2026. We have a terrific program that balances developmental biology, cell polarity, and adhesion and signaling.

Please spread the word!

Emergent actin flows explain distinct modes of gliding motility - Nature Physics Unicellular parasites, such as Toxoplasma gondii, can use different forms of gliding motions when infecting a host. These motility modes arise from the self-organizing properties of filamentous actin ...

1st catch-up post:

Christina (now faculty, UCSD) used single-molecule imaging and theory to understand the mechanism of motility used by Apicomplexans, single-celled parasites that includes malaria.
