Hatch Lab
Our Research
Welcome to the Hatch Lab. Our lab studies the organization and dynamics of the nuclear envelope to understand how changes in this structure cause human genetic diseases and drive cancer development. Our current focus is the mechanisms and consequences of a recently described dynamic where the nuclear membrane ruptures, causing mislocalization of proteins and even organelles, and then either repairs or collapses. This phenomenon has been associated with increased genome instability, inflammation, and metastasis, suggesting that it could be a critical driver of cancer development.

Congrats Hatch lab on an awesome Pumpkin Pac-Man display. Tragically, we fell short of winning a prize in the annual joint Basic Sciences/Human Biology pumpkin carving contest. Another year, another ridiculously strong field.
