John Albeck, PhD is Associate Professor of Molecular and Cellular Biology and his research is focused on understanding the mechanisms of information flow in signal transduction networks controlling cell growth, survival, and metabolism using live-cell microscopy and computational modeling. The goal is to address the question of how specificity is achieved when the same small group of pathways controls a diverse set of cellular behaviors, including proliferation, growth, migration, apoptosis, autophagy, and differentiation.
