Identification and characterization of novel proteins in endosomal cholesterol transport [ 2013 - 2015 ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Prof Hongyuan Yang (Principal investigator) ,  Prof Andrew Brown

Brief description Abnormal subcellular distribution of cholesterol is associated with a number of common diseases including heart disease and Alzheimer’s disease. The overall aim of this proposal is to identify and characterize novel molecules that regulate the transport of intracellular cholesterol. Results from the proposed studies will provide important insights into the molecular mechanisms governing intracellular cholesterol transport and distribution, and will lead to better treatment strategies against heart disease and dementia.
