uses a variety of advanced imaging methods separately, or in combination (CLEM) to understand how endocytic and exocytic proteins move and interact with one another at the plasma membrane. The Hinshaw lab (<a href="https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__irp.nih.gov_pi_jenny-2Dhinshaw&d=DwMGaQ&c=-35OiAkTchMrZOngvJPOeA&r=L7-zyQ-04fFCMRqzLIOnx7H0exGZHwIQe_wMPuY600I&m=_HmqzOvPqujderyoV8UNhFeUqAvXMGCuCF2RI0IgPzL8_LKxGj_eEOJ1Vnebm2ZP&s=vPHupFZZ2XhKfwG1o1NROWhyZvflLZ9tyvlvJ4CECWM&e="><span style="color:#0563C1">https://irp.nih.gov/pi/jenny-hinshaw</span></a>)
studies the dynamic structure and function of the dynamin protein family using cryo-electron microscopy and helical reconstruction.

utilizes single particle cryo electron microscopy and cellular tomography to study the cellular cytoskeleton and how it functions to control specialized cell shape in neurons, immune cells, or cancer. Together, the trio of labs has been awarded a grant from
the Chan-Zuckerberg Initiative (<a href="https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__chanzuckerberg.com_science_programs-2Dresources_imaging_frontiers_correlative-2Dcryo-2Delectron-2Dtomography-2Dpipeline-2Dof-2Dplasma-2Dmembrane-2Dcomplexes_&d=DwMGaQ&c=-35OiAkTchMrZOngvJPOeA&r=L7-zyQ-04fFCMRqzLIOnx7H0exGZHwIQe_wMPuY600I&m=_HmqzOvPqujderyoV8UNhFeUqAvXMGCuCF2RI0IgPzL8_LKxGj_eEOJ1Vnebm2ZP&s=oQYTF2lxpLrXM13Fhg2GaoWW29BarINHnw3E0W9W6IA&e="><span style="color:#0563C1">https://chanzuckerberg.com/science/programs-resources/imaging/frontiers/correlative-cryo-electron-tomography-pipeline-of-plasma-membrane-complexes/</span></a>)
