Natalia is broadly interested in intercellular communication in the early vertebrate. She will join the Dae-Seok laboratory in the fall to investigate the mechanisms behind long-range, cell-to-cell communication in the zebrafish skin, particularly those mediated by airinemes, filopodia-like projections possessing a membrane-bound vesicle at their tips.
