Name: Pierre D McCrea
Position: Professor (retired)
Research Description:
The McCrea Lab's work focussed on understanding the cellular and developmental functions of catenins. Specifically they worked to reveal the roles of catenins in the canonical-Wnt pathway, as well as non-canonical Wnt pathways in animal development. They studied the developmental functions of lesser understood catenins such as p120-catenin, ARVCF-catenin and delta-catenin. For example, they looked at the roles of delta-catenin in the context of shaping neurons/ dendrites, which has implications for both normal development (e.g. brain function) and disease processes. Pierre authored over 40 papers using Xenopus, as listed here on the publications tab.
