Dr. David S. Fay's lab at the University of Wyoming focuses on understanding how cells transport materials and how this affects their development and the surrounding structures they rely on. Using the tiny worm C. elegans as a model, the lab investigates how specific proteins regulate the movement of lipids and proteins within cells, which is crucial for building healthy tissues. The research aims to uncover the links between cellular transport, development, and various diseases, including cancer and neurological disorders.
