Research Interests: | Our group aims at understanding how the molecular machinery of autophagy, the cellular waste disposal system, works. We use biochemical, cell biological and genetic approaches in budding yeast and mammalian cells to dissect the molecular mechanisms underlying autophagosome formation, transport and fusion with the lytic compartment. |
