Laura Buttitta is a Professor in the Department of Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology at the University of Michigan. Her research focuses on cell cycle regulation, particularly in quiescent cells and differentiated stem cells, utilizing Drosophila and mammalian cell systems. Buttitta's work has expanded our understanding of cell cycle control and its implications in cellular behavior and development. After earning her Ph.D. from Johns Hopkins University in 2004, she joined the lab of Dr. Bruce Edgar at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center as a postdoctoral fellow, where she began investigating the role of Drosophila as a model system for studying cell cycle regulation. Her work aims to uncover the mechanisms by which cells communicate and respond to developmental cues, providing insights into the fundamental processes guiding cell growth and differentiation.
