Kassie Ori-McKenney strives to understand the pathways and proteins that regulate microtubule cytoskeletal dynamics and microtubule-based transport. More specifically, members of her lab dissect the multiple layers of regulation of microtubule-based processes by studying the biochemical and genetic relationships between kinases, microtubule-associated proteins, and motors. Research methods include in vitro, in vivo and ex vivo techniques.
