Overview of Research
Lysosomes are cell’s recycling and waste disposal system, containing a battery acid hydrolases that degrade a wide variety of macromolecules and cellular debris into reusable forms. In doing so, lysosomes play a vital role in maintaining cellular homeostasis. They also function as key cell signaling hubs for regulating processes such as nutrient sensing and energy metabolism. The overarching goal of our research is to understand the role of this fascinating organelle in human health and disease. We employ a range of approaches, including molecular biology, cell biology, protein biochemistry, as well as genetic tools, to address our research questions. Teaching
I teach Molecular Genetics, Biochemistry, Cell Biology and Microbiology theory courses apart from various other laboratory courses. |
