Research
We seek to understand how cancer cells harness the cytoskeleton to promote tumor growth, drug resistance and cancer metastasis through non-genetic, morphologic signaling programs.
Our work is highly interdisciplinary and relies on high-resolution time lapse imaging and computer vision-assisted data analysis. Hence, the Isogai lab is integrated in a shared cluster of labs that develop cutting-edge microscopy technologies (Fiolka, Dean, Chang) and statistical models (Danuser, Noh to study tissue morphogenesis (Danuser, Nanes). Our unique multidisciplinary environment stimulates original thinking and allows creativity to flourish.
