We are very excited to welcome Dr. Elias Spiliotis, a new Professor in the Cell Biology Department, who is arriving from Drexel University in Philadelphia. Elias’ research focuses on understanding the molecular, genetic, and cellular mechanisms of spatial organization in epithelia and neurons. He is a world leader in understanding the roles of septins, a mysterious class of GTP-binding proteins which play critical roles in regulating the cytoskeleton to generate and maintain cellular asymmetry. His lab uses cutting edge super-resolution microscopy, gene targeting, biochemistry and proteomics to investigate neuronal morphogenesis and disease, spatial control of intracellular transport, and cancer cell migration and invasion. We look forward to having Elias join our Department.
