M. Andrew Hoyt

Professor M. Andrew Hoyt is affiliated with Johns Hopkins University. His research focuses on mechanisms of cell division, specifically yeast chromosome segregation and mitotic motor proteins, with an emphasis on cell cycle regulation.

Education:

• PhD in Biology from University of California, Berkeley
• Postdoctoral training at Massachusetts Institute of Technology

Research Interests: Dr. Hoyt’s lab investigates fundamental processes in cell division using yeast as a model organism. Key areas include the role of motor proteins in chromosome segregation and regulatory pathways governing the cell cycle. His work bridges molecular genetics and cellular biology to uncover universal mechanisms.

Lab/Teams: His laboratory at Johns Hopkins focuses on experimental approaches to study cell division dynamics, leveraging genetic and biochemical techniques in yeast models.
