Surface For Catalysis by Poliovirus RNA-dependent RNA Polymerase
by Jing Wang, John M Lyle, and Esther Bullitt
Jing received her PhD in the Bullitt lab in May 2012. Congratulations!
Dr. Chelsea Epler will be working in the Bullitt lab investigating type III secretion and virus replication.
Dr. Alan Huang is a biochemist and molecular biologist who has gained biophysical expertise during the last ten years in the Wang lab.
Dr. Shigeru Komaba, also in the Coluccio laboratory, is studying the role of myosin I in the association of transporters with the actin cytoskeleton at the cell membrane.
Dr. Hiroshi Tokuo will be working with Dr. Coluccio investigating the role of myosin I in cell-cell contact; and myosin X in the formation of filopodia.
Dr. Lynne Coluccio joins us from Boston Biomedical Research Institute to continue her work on the role of class I myosins in the inner ear.
Dr. Albert Wang joins us from Boston Biomedical Research Institute to continue his work on regulation of the actin cytoskeleton in smooth muscle and non-muscle cells.
