RESEARCH DESCRIPTION:
All eukaryotic cells contain an elaborate membrane system necessary for the transport and compartmentalization of various proteins and lipids. This architecture permits numerous biochemical and signaling processes to occur simultaneously within specialized organelles. While the core machinery necessary to direct vesicle movement has been largely defined, the regulatory mechanisms
that modulate membrane trafficking remain poorly understood. By combining high-resolution fluorescence microscopy, functional genomics approaches, and in vitro biochemistry, we have been using human induced pluripotent stem cells and CRISPR-modified rodent models to identify critical components necessary for membrane reorganization during development and in disease.
