Established in 1992, this program focuses on architectural dynamics in living cells — the timely and coordinated assembly and disassembly of macromolecular structures essential for the proper functioning and differentiation of cells, the spatial and temporal organization of these structures, and their physiological and genetic control. The program is also devoted to the development and application of powerful new imaging and manipulation instruments and devices that permit such studies directly in living cells and functional cell-free extracts. The Architectural Dynamics in Living Cells Program, an active component of the MBL's resident cell research group, promotes interdisciplinary research and consists of resident core investigators and visiting investigators.
