Biologist especially interested in cilia, signaling and development!
Good morning, Bay! I’m up early to head out to University of Florida and Daniel Kopinke. I hope to see you at the Dept of Pharmacology seminar Wednesday!

Good news.
Faculty expressing their concerns seems to be having effects.
If you are in academia, make sure your administration knows your views on the compact.

Machine Learning Analysis of Cilia-Driven Particle Transport Distinguishes Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia Cilia from Normal Cilia
Rational. Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is a genetic condition that results in dysmotile cilia and abnormal mucociliary clearance. Despite advances in understanding the pathogenesis of PCD, diagnos...
