Elucidating the mechanism and function of cell disassembly during apoptosis [ 2017 - ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Dr Ivan Poon (Principal investigator)

Brief description In humans, billions of cells will die daily in various organs as part of normal turnover and disease progression. During cell death, dying cells can disassembly in to smaller fragments, a process that could facilitate their removal, as well as mediate communication with other healthy cells. I aim to understand the machinery that control how dying cells can disassemble into smaller pieces and their function in influenza A infection.
