Recent research findings from Lori Wallrath's laboratory were presented at the ASCB/EMBO Cell Bio Virtual 2020 Conference

Recent research findings from Dr. Lori Wallrath's laboratory were presented at the ASCB/EMBO Cell Bio Virtual 2020 Conference this December. Professor Wallrath co-organized a session titled "The Nuclear Envelope and Nucleoporins: Influencers of Cellular Structure and the Genome". Research Intern, Nick Shaw, gave an oral presentation titled "Caging the nucleus: Lamins and LINC complex proteins facilitate microtubular organization around myonuclei" in the "Genes in Disease" mini-symposium. Studies performed by Nick and Meg Ketterer were displayed on a poster titled "Mechanisms of skeletal muscle and cardiac disease caused by mutations in TMEM43".

Collectively, their studies highlighted the connections between the cytoskeleton and nucleoskeleton as it relates to skeletal muscle and cardiac disease.

Congratulations to the Wallrath Lab!
