Dr Linda DiBella - Biochemistry/Cell Biology/Developmental Biology

Linda earned her Ph.D. in Biomedical Sciences, focusing on Biochemistry, at the University of Connecticut Health Center where she investigated the biochemical properties of dynein molecular motors in the flagellum of the green alga, Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. She began her postdoctoral work at Yale University studying the role of myosin motors in the growth cones of Aplysia bag cell neurons. More recently, her research at Yale University School of Medicine has focused on cilia related diseases in zebrafish. In particular, she has investigated the role that Tuberous Sclerosis Complex proteins play in cilia formation and function.
