Cell biology explores diverse questions across key domains like cell structure formation, internal organization and operations, and how cells react and communicate. Investigative work focuses on molecular processes governing the placement and activities of complex cellular components (such as the cytoskeleton, ribosomes, and synapses), along with how protein modifications influence gene activity and material transport within cells. Faculty researchers examine cellular reactions and adjustments to challenges like misfolded proteins, nutrient shortages, viral infections, tissue damage, and cancer drugs. Other areas of study involve cellular attachment and communication pathways in both complex and simple cell systems. The Cell Imaging Center at Drexel University enhances these investigations by providing advanced microscopy techniques and innovative imaging technologies.
