About UConn Structural Biology
The UConn Partnership for Excellence in Structural Biology brings together faculty, staff, and students to form an interactive research and training environment. We have active research programs in the structural analysis of macromolecular assemblies and membrane proteins, computational and experimental methods development, computational modeling, and analysis. Our major facilities include NMR, X-ray crystallography, Proteomics & Metabolomics core facilities as well as the National Center for Analytical Ultracentrifugation. The partnership supports collaborative research projects, interdepartmental graduate training and an annual symposium (NESS).

Deciphering the tubulin code of mechanobiology
We have applied cell biology and synthetic biology approaches to establish a causal relationship between microtubule post-translational modifications and actomyosin contractility in migrating cells.
Bio:
Dr. Deb Roy obtained his PhD in Biomedical Sciences from UConn Health, where he studied molecular interactions between bone cells. He did his post-doctoral fellowship at Johns Hopkins Medical Institute on the crosstalk between actin and microtubules. His lab at UConn Health investigates cytoskeletal dynamics and cell motility.Contact Information:
