Brian J. Mitchell, PhD, is an Associate Professor at the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine in the Department of Cell and Developmental Biology. His research interests are focused on the study of cilia polarity and the molecular mechanisms that govern cell polarity. The laboratory investigates how ciliated cells generate directed fluid flow, which is crucial for various developmental and physiological processes, particularly in the respiratory system. The ongoing research also delves into centriole duplication, which plays a significant role in cell division and is related to cancer progression. By utilizing the unique properties of motile ciliated cells in Xenopus, the lab aims to uncover fundamental questions in cell biology and develop novel therapeutic insights.
