Research Overview

How mammalian cells regulate and spatially co-ordinate the process of moving cellular cargo, while ensuring that organelle homeostasis, is maintained and cargo’s are delivered correctly, is the focus of my research. Using small molecule inhibitors, toxins, and classical cell biology, and utilising both fluorescence and electron microscopy, I study the pathways with which mammalian cells are able to move proteins and lipids between cellular compartments. 

Positions Available

PhD
