Daniel Lew

Daniel Lew is a Fellow in the Department of Biology at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. His research focuses on understanding how cells orient their activities in space, including oriented growth, cell wall remodeling, and organelle segregation, using fungal model systems. His work integrates cell biology, genetics, and computational biology to explore molecular mechanisms underlying cell shape and function. Lew's research addresses how cells control the spatial distribution of internal components and how different cell shapes arise. His laboratory investigates these questions through a combination of experimental and computational approaches.
