Assembling, cutting and steering to construct polarized microtubule highways in neurons

Melissa Rolls is the Paul Berg Professor of Biochemistry at Penn State. Her research focus is the cell biology of neurons, particularly microtubule organization. She uses this long-term background in cell biology to understand how neurons respond to injury. She is also committed to training scientists and Chairs the Molecular, Cellular and Integrative Biosciences graduate program.
