Research summary

Elakkiya Tamilselvan's work focuses on the structural and biophysical study of proteins involved in cell signaling and cell adhesion, such as cadherins and pathways related to planar cell polarity (a process that helps cells organize their orientation within tissues). Their research draws on structural biology techniques, including X-ray crystallography and cryo-electron microscopy, to understand how these molecules function at a molecular level. This work connects to broader biological questions in areas like development, hearing, and cell mechanics.
