Brief description The Hippo pathway is a key regulator of tissue growth. It was first discovered in vinegar flies and plays a similar role in mammals. We aim to define the mechanism by which a newly-identified Hippo pathway protein, Wbp2, functions to control growth. These studies will be performed in flies and confirmed in mammalian cells. Ultimately, our studies will shed light on how tissue growth is controlled, and have the potential to inform the way that we treat human cancers and tissue growth disorders.
