Signal Transduction. Cell cycle control and cell differentiation.
Current Interests
"For all types of cells, extracellular signals serve to trigger cellular responses. This process is termed signal transduction. These cellular responses are seldom controlled by only one signaling pathway. Instead they are controlled by many different signals and pathways, and these different controls are integrated together into complex regulatory networks. Because signal transduction enzymes are remarkably well conserved in organisms ranging from yeast to man, we are using a comparatively simple model system-- the switch between mitotic growth and meiotic differentiation in the yeast S. cerevisiae --to define the mechanisms by which different signaling pathways are integrated together into regulatory networks.
