Ian G. Macara, Ph.D.
Harrison Distinguished Professor of MicrobiologyTelephone: 434.982.0074 (office)/ 0083
(lab) Lab Location: Research Interests: Cell polarization mechanisms in epithelia; epithelial morphogenesis in mammary glands, and breast cancer; polarity proteins as tumor suppressors; RNA localization; N-terminal methylation of proteins.
Personnel: OPENINGS AVAILABLE - for postdocs and graduate students, particularly those with interests in mouse models of mammary morphogenesis and breast cancer(using lentiviral transduction of stem cells - see McCaffrey and Macara, Genes & Development, 2009), epithelial cell polarity, confocal imaging, and RNA localization.
NEW! - There is an opening for a postdoc or graduate student to work on the role of polarity proteins in mammary stem cell function, using mouse models and in vitro imaging. Please contact Ian for more details. |
