Marisa Segal

Marisa Segal is a Fellow at the University of Cambridge, affiliated with the School of Biological Sciences. Her research focuses on cell biology, particularly the cell cycle, cell polarity signalling, and the cytoskeleton. Segal investigates the cell cycle control of spindle morphogenesis in budding yeast, S. cerevisiae, with an emphasis on the mechanisms determining spindle pole body asymmetry and spindle polarity. Her work employs molecular genetics, quantitative imaging, and protein-protein interaction techniques. Segal's research also explores protein modification and potential collaborations in structural biology, specifically involving small GTPases.
