Welcoming Joey McDonald to the Lab

by Heidi Hehnly in


We are pleased to welcome Joey McDonald to the lab for his rotation this semester. Joey will be investigating the role of centrosomes in left–right axis determination, a central question in our efforts to understand how cellular architecture and cytoskeletal organization contribute to tissue-level asymmetry during development.

During his rotation, Joey will gain experience in zebrafish-based experimental approaches and advanced imaging strategies used to study Kupffer’s Vesicle morphogenesis and cilia function. We look forward to his contributions and to supporting his development in cell and developmental biology research.
