Welcome to the Suter Lab!

The Suter lab is interested in understanding the molecular and cellular mechanisms of nervous system development and regeneration. We are focusing our research efforts on directional movements of neuronal growth cones, which are highly motile structures at the tip of axons and dendrites. Growth cones are sophisticated signaling devices, capable of detecting information in the environment and transducing it towards the dynamic cytoskeleton that ultimately drives the motility. We are also interested in understanding the mechanisms underlying axonal growth, guidance, and regeneration. Understanding these mechanisms is not only important with respect to nervous system development, but also to design better strategies that promote regeneration after injuries and diseases.
The Suter lab is part of the Department of Biological Sciences in the College of Science at and of the Purdue Institute of Integrative Neuroscience at Purdue University. The laboratory is located on the second floor of Lilly Hall of Life Sciences. Thank you for visiting our Website!
