Fish and whips: using zebrafish to investigate how cellular waste disposal affects cilia

Fish and whips: using zebrafish to investigate how cellular waste disposal affects cilia

Featuring: Dr Christopher Wilkinson (Royal Holloway, University of London)

Host: Tom Carter

Location: Seminar room J1.8

Christopher’s lab is interested the role of centrioles, cilia and associated proteins in early vertebrate development. He uses zebrafish as a model system to study how known human mutations in genes encoding centrosome and cilia components give rise to developmental diseases.

All are welcome.
