 EERING COLLOQUIA SERIES\n(sandwiches served)\n\nAbstract: \nPrimary cilia 
 are cellular antennae\, orchestrating signal transduction in most mammalia
 n cells. Cilia dysfunction leads to the development of severe human diseas
 es\, collectively termed ciliopathies. However\, the underlying molecular 
 mechanisms are ill-defined. Cilia constitute a unique subcellular compartm
 ent. A diffusion barrier and the ciliary transport machinery maintain a pr
 otein composition that is distinct from the cell body. Although cAMP signa
 ling components are enriched in the cilium\, the role of ciliary cAMP sign
 aling remains enigmatic. We have developed approaches that allow to specif
 ically analyze cAMP signaling in motile and non-motile cilia using optogen
 etics and\, thereby\, shed light on ciliary signaling.\n\nBio:\nAcademic q
