Mitotic Motor Proteins in Cancer Treatment

BIO

I am a PhD Student working in the Stumpff Lab in the Department of Molecular Physiology and Biophysics. The lab is interested in the mechanical control of cell division and how defects in these controls can contribute to cancer. My research focuses on the mechanisms behind how inhibiting a mitotic motor protein can lead to mitotic arrest in cancer cells as well as how resistance to this inhibition can arise. Prior to UVM, I received my B.S. in biology from UMass Boston in 2024 where I worked in the physics department studying photodynamic therapy.
