Using yeast to study neurodegeneration and cancer.
The convergence of biochemistry, molecular biology, cell biology, genetics, and developmental biology has created new, important areas of scientific research. Our group uses these disciplines to discover how cells function. Our overall goal is to uncover new, essential subcellular processes and to determine how these impact human physiology. We are currently pursuing two major projects. The PI3,5P2 signaling pathway and neurodegeneration. Coordination of organelle inheritance with the cell-cycle.
