The Goldenring lab has multiple interests in Epithelial Biology and Cancer biology including 1) the role of membrane trafficking and recycling in polarity, 2) the cellular basis of congenital diarrheas, 3) the cell of origin for pre-cancerous metaplasia in the stomach and the immune cell drivers of stomach carcinogenesis and 4) the role of AKAP350 in organizing the pericentrosomal material.
