The job seminar that I attended was for Jesse “Jay” Gatlin. Jay Gatlin is and Associate Professor of Molecular Biology at the University of Wyoming. He originally studied mechanical engineering, more specifically studying brake mechanics in cars. A lot of his research lends to his mechanical engineering background, as his lab researches the mechanical properties of spindle assemblies and microtubules in the cell. The major questions in his lab include: how does spindle get bipolar shape, how does cell size influence spindle size, and how is spindle positioning controlled. His lab has a website which includes his staff and his publications. One of them involves him using fluorescent molecules to visualize microtubules.
