Research Interest
We combine functional genomics, biochemistry and cell biology approaches to study how cells divide and migrate in a non-pathological context and in the processes leading to the development of metastases. In particular, we study signaling pathways that allow coordination between cytoskeletal elements (actin and microtubules) and the plasma membrane. This coordination is very important in order to regulate cell shape change during cell division and cell migration.
