  Dr. David Mitchell has spent over 30 years studying the structure, assembly and function of the cytoskeletal portion of cilia, called axonemes. Along the axoneme are the dynein motors which drive ciliary and regulate ciliary motion. While a significant amount of research has been dedicated to studying the dynein arms, there are two major structures whose function remains elusive: the radial spokes and the central pair. My research focused on studying the role of the central pair in regulating dynein function, specifically how individual proteins associated with the central pair affect dynein function and studying new mutants in the model organism Chlamydomonas reinhardtii.
