Research project: Uncovering the molecular mechanisms of asymmetric cell divisions in the adult mammary epithelium

Currently Active: 
Yes
Project type: 
Grant

Applying proteomics, bioinformatics and cutting-edge molecular and imaging techniques to uncover the mechanisms of asymmetric cell divisions (ACDs) during mammary gland development and homeostasis, and the mechanisms of epithelial differentiation and architecture.

This project utilises a combination of 3D organoids, CRISPR-based gene editing, proteomics and mass-spectrometry to identify novel proteins that control oriented cell divisions in the mammary epithelium.
