Our
research is focused on understanding the expression and movement of
RNA from transcription through nuclear export to localization in the
cytoplasmic compartments such as the leading edge of a fibroblast, the
bud tip of yeast or the axonal process of neurons.
We
use fluorescent labels in both fixed and living cells to study RNA expression
and movement in single cells. We also develop microscopy techniques
and digital image analysis algorithms to visualize many RNAs simultaneously.
