Beverly Wendland

Beverly Wendland is the Provost and Executive Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs at Washington University in St. Louis.

Her laboratory investigates the molecular mechanisms and regulation of endocytic vesicle formation, using cell biology, genetic, and structural biology approaches. Wendland's research has successfully taken advantage of the highly genetically tractable eukaryote, the yeast ''Saccharomyces cerevisiae''. Her research in yeast has advanced the molecular understanding of the cell biology underlying human cancer, cardiovascular disease, lysosomal-storage disorders and infections. Provided by Wikipedia
