Centrosomes, cilia and pathologies

 

Bénédicte Delaval is interested in understanding the cellular mechanisms controlling cell division and how the disruption of these cellular processes influences the initiation and progression of pathologies such as cystic kidney disease and cancer. More precisely, she and her group are combining cell biology and biochemical approaches in cultured cells with an in vivo model organism, zebrafish, to understand the role of centrosome and cilia proteins under normal and pathological conditions.
