October 1, 2024. Cell Biology & Vascular Biology Retreat at the Hill-Stead Museum. We had a great turnout with 87 people in attendance. Everyone enjoyed the day and found it to be an enriching experience, possibly creating new connections for future collaborations. Special thanks to our keynote speaker, Dr. Elizabeth Chen (UT, Southwestern).

Sarvenaz Sarabipour joined CCAM and the Cell Biology Department as an assistant professor.  Her research in computational systems biology focuses on developing experimental and computational methods to study mechanisms of signal transduction in cells and tissues. She is also active in initiatives to improve  research  culture.

March 2024. Abhijit Deb Roy
Abhijit Del Roy joined CCAM and the Cell Biology Department as an assistant professor. His research concerns molecular signaling pathways and cytoskeletal dynamics involved in mechanobiology and cell migration. Directional cell migration plays critical roles during physiological processes such as development, angiogenesis and immune response, whereas dysregulation of cell migration is observed in pathologies such as cancer metastasis and atherosclerosis.
