Studying Integrin Beta-1 in vitro
Peyton Lab Research Interests
The Peyton lab studies how cells process chemical and physical cues from the extracellular matrix, and how these interactions play a role in disease progression. By creating synthetic microenvironments, we are able to have tight control of cell-matirx interactions, allowing us to better understand how cells use their integrins to bind to matrix, and what downstream signaling pathways this binding sets off.
