TOBIAS MEYER & MARY TERUEL LABORATORIES

Cell Signaling in Cancer and Metabolism

We study how dynamic cell signals control tissue size and health.

We develop microscopy methods, fluorescent reporters, and perturbation technologies and carry out studies in vitro in mouse and human cells and organoids, as well as in vivo in mouse models. Current projects focus on the signaling control of senescence, proliferation, secretion, and receptor signaling as causes of obesity and metabolic dysfunction. We prepare students and postdocs to succeed in interdisciplinary academic and biotech careers.
