Peter N DevreotesDr. Peter N. Devreotes is a professor of cell biology and biological chemistry in the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. He is the Isaac Morris and Lucille Elizabeth Hay Professor and director of the Department of Cell Biology at Johns Hopkns.

His research focuses on the genetic analysis of chemotaxis in eukaryotic cells. Specifically, his lab studies how cells sense their surroundings and move directionally in processes like embryogenesis, wound healing, and immune response. His lab uses live-cell and single-molecule imaging, genetic analysis in the model organism Dictyostelium, and mathematical modeling to understand mechanisms of directed cell migration.
