Hughes Lab

Islet Cilia Research

What’s new:

Our Lab

The Hughes lab at Washington University studies the primary cilium, sensory and signaling antenna of the cell. We seek to understand how cilia work in the pancreas to regulate islet function.

In this lab we believe in: 

  • scientific integrity
  • work-life balance
  • supporting each other
  • good food
  • the Oxford comma
