The many faces of filamin A in platelets: From signaling to survival

The Summer Seminar Series (June – Aug) are reserved for the CBR Members to present the breadth and depth of their research.  Postdoctoral Fellows, Research Associates and Senior Graduate Students are welcome and encouraged to present.

Presented by

Dr. Kalyan Golla

Learning objectives

Platelet function is largely regulated by the actin cytoskeleton, which is continuously remodeled and forms the structural backbone of the cell. Filamin A (FLNA) is a protein that cross-links actin filaments at cell membranes and also functions as an important signal transducer. From the lab of Dr. Hugh Kim, Associate Professor, Faculty of Dentistry, Centre for Blood Research, we will present our recent findings on the multiple key roles played by FLNA in platelet function.

Registration
