Delling Lab studies the molecular mechanisms of how primary cilia utilize ion channels and GPCRs to sense their local environment and control such important processes as left-right asymmetry formation. Our long-term goal is to understand the signals activating ciliary Ca2+ channels and to identify the resulting downstream cilia-dependent signaling cascades. We use a variety of different approaches including mouse genetics, RNA sequencing, cutting edge primary cilia Ca2+ imaging, electrophysiology and biochemistry.
