Structural and Functional Analysis of Plasma Membrane Microdomains in Health and Disease [ 2019 - ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Prof Robert Parton (Principal investigator)

Brief description The cell surface encloses the cell in a protective barrier but it must also respond to signals coming from outside the cell. To accomplish this, the cell surface is made up of numerous regions each with a specialised role. This proposal aims to examine how lipids and proteins work together to make these specialised regions and aims to understand what goes wrong in diseases such as muscular dystrophy.
