Using Ciliary Protein PKD-2 Localization in Caenorhabditis Elegans to Study Primary Cilia Form and Function

Color poster with text and photographs.Current efforts in the lab include categorizing and further characterization of the genes? role in cilia form and function. We hypothesize that candidate factors may affect PKD-2 localization specifically, general transport processes in the cilium, or the structure of cilia or the surrounding support cells.NIH AREA Grant DK88743; University of Wisconsin--Eau Claire Office of Research and Sponsored Programs
