Docking, and lipid functions in membrane fusion [ 2014 - ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Prof Jens Coorssen (Principal investigator)

Brief description Understanding and harnessing the fundamental cellular process of secretion will provide a wealth of new approaches to addressing problems associated with aging & disorders that are major health care burdens (e.g. neurodegeneration & diabetes). Understanding the vesicle docked state, and the contributions of different molecular components to the release process provides for unique insights into the underlying molecular mechanisms, thereby enabling safe, targeted control of this critical process.
