Welcome to the joint lab website for Drs. Ethan and Laura Lee. We’re located at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, TN. Ethan Lee uses Xenopus, biochemistry, small molecule compounds, and cell culture to study Wnt signal transduction during development and disease. Laura Lee studies the cell cycle in a developmental context using Drosophila melanogaster as a model organism.
