Caroline Laplante is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Molecular Biomedical Sciences at NC State University's College of Veterinary Medicine and part of the Chancellor’s Faculty Excellence Program cluster in Modeling the Living Embryo. Her research combines genetics, quantitative fluorescence microscopy, and high-speed super-resolution imaging to elucidate the molecular organization and dynamics of biological contractile systems in single cells and developing organisms.
- PhD in Biology from McGill University
- Postdoctoral work on cytokinetic contractile ring mechanisms
- Developed high-speed FPALM for live fission yeast imaging
- Discovered multi-myosin cooperation in contractile ring function
Laplante's work focuses on:
- Cytokinesis mechanics in fission yeast
- Nanoscale imaging of contractile ring dynamics
- Role of myosins and actin-binding proteins
- Epithelial morphogenesis in Drosophila
- Computational modeling of living embryo systems
- Host-pathogen interactions in porcine models
Her article trends show expertise in:
- Contractile ring biomechanics
- Quantitative live-cell imaging
- Myosin functional diversity
- CRISPR-based molecular tracking
- Microtubule-actin interactions
