Monica Gotta

Monica Gotta is a Professor in the Department of Cell Physiology and Metabolism at the University of Geneva. Her research focuses on asymmetric cell division, mitosis regulation, and biophysical mechanisms in Caenorhabditis elegans embryos. She leads a dynamic research group exploring cellular asymmetries through experimental and computational approaches.

• Research Interests: Cell Biology, Developmental Biology, Molecular Biology, Biophysics
• Key Topics: Mitosis, Stress Granules, Cell Polarity, Protein Kinase Regulation, Reaction-Diffusion Mechanisms

Labs & Teams: The Gotta Lab investigates molecular and biophysical mechanisms of asymmetric division, with former members contributing to studies on stress granules, spindle orientation, and embryonic patterning.
