About Me
Jaya's research in Hilgendorf lab is focused on understanding the mechanism of primary cilia mediated signaling in the regulation of adipogenesis. This involves studying how cilia resident GPCR and its lipid agonists control adipogenesis in vivo in mouse models of obesity. Previously she studied dysregulated Polycystin-1/IFT88 mediated ciliary signaling in polycystic kidney disease.
