Ryan Lach - 2023

Research

     Ryan is interested in the biophysical mechanics that contribute to Wnt pathway signal transduction as well as how these signaling components contribute to cell fate, growth and proliferation decisions in development and adulthood. Currently, Ryan is working to quantify and control liquid-liquid phase behavior of the central signaling node of the canonical Wnt pathway, the β-catenin destruction complex, with the goal of better understanding its role in gating information pertinent to Wnt-related cellular outcomes.
