Understanding how membrane-bound organelles form and acquire their distinctive proteome

Project

Project Details

My lab is interested in understanding how membrane-bound organelles form and acquire their distinctive proteome essential to carry their specialized functions. In particular, we focus on how organelle function is maintained through quality control processes, such as protein degradation. We are also interested in inter-organelle communications- which and how molecules are exchanged between organelles, which signals regulate those exchanges, etc. Although my lab does mostly basic research, we are interested how these processes are disrupted in human disease.
