In the Duncan lab, we ask fundamental questions about how cells work. Our projects seek to understand the proteins important for membrane traffic, the process by which trans-membrane proteins and proteins inside organelle arrive at their correct location. Our work investigates the molecular mechanisms underlying the movement of proteins between organelles, we identify the proteins that function in this process, how they interact with one another, and broadly how the process of membrane traffic contributes to global cell functions including nutrient responses, signal transduction, and morphology at the cellular and tissue level.
