Coordination, cooperation and precision – our cells operate like a well-oiled machine, such that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts, it’s organelles. We are beginning to shed light on how cells utilize organelle networks to spatiotemporally employ cellular pathways, nucleic acids, proteins, and metabolites to produce a variety of outputs in response to stimuli and stress.

Our research aims to understand how cellular organization and function are derived from organelle interactions, and how defects in organelle network formation, maintenance, and disassembly drive the development of cancer and neurodegenerative disease.
