Fellow 1999-2003

Area of Current Research Interests
We study the molecular mechanisms of protein sorting in mammalian cells and the fundamental role it plays in cell, tissue and organism-level function. Specifically, our mechanistic dissection of protein sorting within the endosomal network has provided the framework to understand and interpret the de-regulation of endosomal protein sorting observed in a broad array of human diseases. These include cardiovascular disease and neurological disorders, most notably Alzheimer disease and Parkinson disease, as well as metabolic disorders such a type 2 diabetes.
