Intracellular trafficking & cell polarity

 My ambition is to understand the molecular mechanisms that control the intracellular dynamics of proteins, lipids and membranes in the context of the functional organization of cells, and to understand how these mechanisms contribute to health or, when disrupted, to human disease.

In this context my group's focus is also on rare congenital disorders caused by disrupted intracellular protein dynamics and cellular organization, which includes elucidating their pathogenesis, development of patient-specific iPSC-based cell models and lead identification for novel therapeutic strategies.
