CBES Area of Interest:

Our lab focuses on membrane trafficking. We are particularly interested in investigating the mechanisms involved in the uptake, packaging, transport and delivery of these carriers to their correct intercellular destinations. We are also interested in using Saccharomyces Cerevisiae to develop genome-wide drugs screens to identify cellular pathways of small compounds used in therapeutic treatments of diseases.

CBES Area of Expertise:

Membrane trafficking; clathrin-mediated endocytosis, the endo-lysosomal system. Authophagy; the biogenesis of the autophagosome, Yeast genetics; genome-wide drug screens, and live cell fluorescence microscopy
