What We Do
One primary focus of the Lowery Lab research
is to investigate how cytoskeletal dynamics
are regulated to drive cell motility
in both normal and pathological conditions.
The Lowery Lab uses this research focus as a platform to further the understanding of the cell biological defects that underlie neurodevelopmental disorders, various developmental disorders affecting other organ systems, as well as cancer metastasis, using Xenopus laevis as a model system.
