Anne Woods, Ph.D.--Signalling Mechanisms Controlling Cell-matrix Interactions


Research Description:

I am using cell and molecular biology to investigate the roles of the transmembrane heparan sulfate proteoglycans, syndecans, in cell adhesion and extracellular matrix assembly.  Syndecans act as coreceptors with integrins to modify adhesion phenotype and matrix organization.  My particular interest is in the intracellular signaling cascades activated by syndecan ligation.
