Alert: Canvas Outage Update
Canvas access has been restored for our users, but the service reliability remains uncertain. Due to recent events, Canvas has had intermittent outages which are at the discretion of the vendor and may occur during a final exam. Faculty and staff may continue to use Canvas, but we strongly advise faculty and students to prepare a contingency plan for turning in assignments and final exams in the event Canvas access becomes unavailable again.

Research in the Tucker Lab focuses on developing novel technologies to probe and control the dynamic cell. We develop engineered optogenetic tools allow regulation of molecular biochemistry and cellular behaviors in live cells with fast temporal and spatial precision, including a widely-used CRY2-CIB1 tool to control protein-protein interactions with blue light. Other research interests include developing a suite of tools for control of biomolecular condensates and protein clustering, which can be used to better understand how disordered protein assemblies contribute to neurodegenerative diseases. The approaches we take in the lab are interdisciplinary, ranging from biochemistry, to yeast genetics and screening, to imaging-intensive cell biology.
