The
actin & Microtubule Dynamics Lab
with
Jessica Henty-Ridilla

Investigating the convergence of actin, microtubules, & biomolecular condensates in native and disease states

We study cellular LEGO! Here is a research spotlight of Jess talking about our work at the SUNY Research Leadership Academy lead by the Alan Alda Center for Communicating Science

Actin (blue) & MTs (purple)
