Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Emily Hunter's research interests encompass several distinct areas, including the molecular mechanisms underlying cancer development and the study of ciliary and flagellar assembly and function in model organisms. Her work on uveal melanoma investigates the role of specific gene mutations and signaling pathways, such as BAP1 and the AMP-dependent kinase pathway, and explores co-targeting strategies involving FASN and mTOR to suppress tumor growth. In parallel, Hunter studies the fundamental processes of algal ciliary motility and the assembly of proteins like FAP93 at the proximal axoneme in *Chlamydomonas*. Her publications also address public health issues related to menstrual hygiene, including period poverty and the accessibility of menstrual products in educational settings, particularly in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. Hunter's scholarly contributions are reflected in her h-index of 9 and 37 total publications, with over 263 citations.
