OverviewAI-generated summary
Kari Naylor's research investigates the fundamental mechanisms of mitochondrial dynamics, focusing on the roles of cytoskeletal components like actin and microtubules in various model organisms, including amoeba, yeast, and mammalian cells. This work is supported by a National Science Foundation (NSF) Research in Undergraduate Institutions (RUI) grant totaling $541,615, which Naylor serves as Principal Investigator (PI) for. The grant specifically aims to explore the function of FtsZs and the cytoskeleton to determine the molecular mechanisms of mitochondrial dynamics in *Dictyostelium discoideum*.
Naylor's recent publications highlight the comparative analysis of mitochondrial dynamics across different species and explore the impact of reactive oxygen species on cytoskeletal stability. Additionally, Naylor has contributed to research examining the antimicrobial properties of honey, specifically its effectiveness against antibiotic-resistant wound-infecting bacteria.
Naylor's scholarship metrics include an h-index of 9, with 12 total publications and 549 total citations. Naylor collaborates with colleagues at the University of Central Arkansas, including Stephany D. Crabtrey and Richard M. Tarkka, with whom shared publications exist. Naylor also maintains an active laboratory website to disseminate research.
