Hay-Oak Park studies how budding yeast cells establish and maintain polarity (a directional organization needed for growth and division), focusing on regulatory proteins like Cdc42 and related GTPases (molecular switches that turn cellular processes on and off) and their partner proteins. This work also touches on how cells divide asymmetrically and age, using yeast as a model system relevant to basic cell biology.
