Research Interests:My research interests are focused on studying the dynamics and regulation of endosomal/lysosomal system in brain. I have been investigating the intracellular machinery involved in polarized protein transport in neurons, in particular, the neuronal secretory and endocytic pathways, to elucidate the mechanisms of intracellular trafficking in health and disease. |
Research Interests:My research is focused on understanding the mechanisms of microbial infection and the host defense against pathogenic microorganisms, in particular through dissecting the role of BAI1, an adhesion G-protein coupled receptor (aGPCR), in phagocytic clearance of Gram-negative bacteria and the mechanisms underlying this innate immune response. |
