LusKing Lab

The LusKing Lab investigates fundamental aspects of nuclear structure, dynamics, and integrity. We communicate our knowledge to both the scientific community and the general public. The lab provides a rich training environment for scientists at all levels to become interdisciplinary researchers capable of working effectively both individually and as a team. Our group is proud to effect positive change—promoting core principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion—in our institutional, local, and national scientific communities.

We lead a passionate and diverse research group that equally emphasizes providing an environment for scientific research and training. As such, we strive to establish a community where scientific discovery is as passionately pursued as personal and professional ambition. Our mission is to make fundamental discoveries in the field of nuclear cell biology at the interface of basic and medical science. We work hard to not only advance scientific knowledge but also to disseminate that knowledge through engaging in scientific outreach and teaching. Further, we recognize that our potential can only be reached when the contributions of all members of our local communities are heard and valued. To this end, we strive to create a lab environment built fundamentally on respect, kindness, and compassion, in which all members are supported and celebrated. We seek to purposefully amplify and uplift the voices of those who belong to groups underrepresented in science and ensure that space is created for diverse ideas to be heard.

We are recruiting new members to join our team at all career stages. If you are interested, please contact Megan and/or Patrick. See more details under “People”.
