cellular LEGO

The Subramanian Lab, part of Harvard's Department of Molecular Biology and linked to Massachusetts General Hospital, is at the forefront of cellular research, creatively using protein building blocks in a unique approach likened to playing with LEGO. Led by Dr. Radhika Subramanian and her dedicated research team, the lab focuses on understanding complex cytoskeletal structures that serve as critical signaling platforms within cells.

Through innovative techniques, including high-resolution quantitative imaging and nanoscale reconstruction of cellular reactions, the lab explores vital questions regarding cell division and intercellular signaling mechanisms, prominently featuring the primary cilium's role. By revealing the intricate spatial-temporal orchestration of essential cellular reactions, the Subramanian Lab strives to uncover fundamental insights into life itself. Committed to a collaborative and enjoyable research environment, the team welcomes aspiring scientists to join their mission of advancing genetic and molecular biology
