Areas of Interest
My research interest is in the area of polarized exocytosis or how cell surface trafficking is regulated to specific sites. Using a variety of ‘in vivo’ and ‘in vitro’ approaches, my work had centered on the function of vesicle tethering factors and how they interact with Rab GTPases and SNARE proteins to mediate docking and fusion of vesicles with a target membrane and in particular how this process is regulated at the cell surface by Rho/Cdc42 family GTPases.
