The Meyer lab seeks to understand how human cells move and divide to build, maintain and repair tissues and organs. The movement and division of cells is controlled by integration of large numbers of mitogen, cell contact, and stress signaling inputs that control the maintenance and repair of tissues and drive cancer progression. We are identifying new targets for cancer therapy and seek new ways to promote tissue repair by developing and applying cutting edge live-cell microscopy approaches to understand how signaling systems orchestrate cell movement and proliferation of normal and cancer cells.
