Unraveling the dynamic Munc18a:Syntaxin1 interaction required for neurotransmission [ 2015 - ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Prof Jennifer Martin (Principal investigator) ,  A/Pr Brett Collins ,  Dr ShuHong Hu

Brief description Membrane trafficking, the topic of the 2013 Nobel prize in Medicine, is required for delivery of cellular cargo. This research will investigate the interactions and structures of proteins from the neuronal membrane trafficking system. Understanding how this system operates will expand our knowledge of processes fundamental to learning and memory and may ultimately lead to development of selective therapeutics for treating a range of diseases.
