Expertise and Research Interests
MOLECULAR MECHANISMS OF PHAGOCYTOSIS: how do pathogens subvert this process?
*Unraveling membrane trafficking involved in the phagocytic pathway and its regulation
*How do intracellular bacteria interfere with the host phagocytic system to escape lysosomal degradation?


CHARACTERIZATION OF EUKARYOTIC MEMBRANE FUSION MACHINERY
*Identification and characterization of primitive membrane fusion machineries (similar to SNARE proteins)
*Characterization of the specificity of fusion encoded in the SNARE proteins
*Characterization of intramolecular SNARE regulation

Keywords
