Kelley Lab at UMaine

The Kelley lab has recently received an R15 grant from the NIH to study how the yeast protein Boi2 regulates the assembly of the septin cytoskeleton during the yeast pheromone response. https://umaine.edu/news/blog/2021/08/17/kelley-explores-what-directs-septin-proteins-in-yeast-mating/

The Kelley Lab, in collaboration with Andre Khalil and the CompuMAINE lab, has received a 3 year, $424,438 grant from the NIH to investigate the role of G-alpha signaling in regulating gradient tracking.  This project involves a combination of yeast genetics, live cell microscopy in microfluidic devices, computational image analysis, and computational modeling.
