Specializations

The Karasmanis Lab studies the mechanisms of intra- and inter-cellular transport using structural, biophysical, cell biological, and genetic approaches. Research in the lab focuses on understanding how cellular cargo arrives at the right place and time and dissecting how motor-cargo complexes form and correctly navigate the cellular cytoskeleton landscape. The lab values scientific rigor, creativity, collaboration, mutual support, and fosters an environment where trainees and staff work closely together to develop new ideas, technologies, and experimental strategies.
