My work focuses on unraveling the mechanism of cytokinesis in Giaridia, which lacks a: contractile ring, midbody/phragmoplast, and all canonical actin-binding proteins. I am using an in vivo approach to probe actin dynamics and vesicle trafficking during cytokinesis. Additionally, I am characterizing WHAC (WH2 Associated with Cytokinesis), to better understand its central role in cells completing cytokinesis. |
