Clemens Cabernard is a Professor in the Department of Biology at the University of Washington. His research focuses on asymmetric cell division (ACD), a process critical for generating cellular diversity. Using Drosophila melanogaster as a model organism, his lab investigates the molecular genetics and biophysical mechanisms underpinning asymmetric stem cell division. Key topics include molecular mechanisms of centrosome asymmetry and biased centrosome segregation, myosin dynamics, and the mechanical biophysical mechanisms involved in ACD. Dr. Cabernard's lab employs a combination of classical genetics, live cell imaging, super-resolution imaging, and biophysical measurements to study these phenomena, aiming to advance understanding of cellular processes essential for developmental biology.
