The Gould laboratory conducts foundational research on the molecular basis of cell division, a highly conserved process central to development and tissue maintenance. The laboratory takes a multi-disciplinary approach employing genetics, biochemistry, phosphoproteomics, and microscopy. Our ultimate goal is to obtain a comprehensive mechanistic understanding of the exquisite spatial and temporal control of cell division in eukaryotes.
