معرفی
Jennifer Landino is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biochemistry and Cell Biology at the Geisel School of Medicine, Dartmouth College. Her research focuses on understanding the biochemical and biophysical mechanisms underlying cortical patterning during cytokinesis, the final stage of cell division, using a cell-free system derived from Xenopus egg extract and supported lipid bilayers.
Key research areas include:
- Dynamical patterning of the cell cortex
- Role of Rho GTPase and F-actin in furrow formation
- Biophysical properties of membrane-cytoskeleton interactions
- Development of artificial cortex models for studying cell division
Recent publications highlight her work on membrane composition effects on cortical patterning (2025), neighbor cell interactions during cytokinesis (2025), and cortical excitability regulation across the cell cycle (2022). Her lab utilizes live imaging and quantitative analysis to investigate these processes.
