Our primary mission is to identify and understand the molecular modules that regulate plant cell polarity and morphogenesis, focusing on those operating at the intersection of the secretory pathway, plasma membrane lipids, and the actin cytoskeleton. We divide our attention between two main processes that give plant cells their shape: oriented cell division and differential cell growth, and we focus on intracellular molecular mechanisms driving cellular morphogenesis, such as exocytosis.
