Research
Dr Laura Gumy is Senior Lecturer at the University of Otago. Dr Gumy’s research focuses on intracellular transport processes and cytoskeletal remodelling in neurons. These are fundamental pathways that when impaired can lead to neuronal dysfunction or nerve regeneration deficits. The Gumy lab uses live imaging, biochemical and genetic methods to identify and interrogate molecular interactions with a role in neural repair.
