We are a group of cell biologists dedicated to understanding how cells maintain homeostasis through membrane trafficking events such as endocytosis and autophagy, in response to diverse signals. 

Our research investigates the molecular mechanisms that govern these essential processes and how their regulation varies across cell types, including neurons. Using a combination of live-cell imaging, genome editing in human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), and quantitative analyses, we aim to uncover how membrane trafficking is finely tuned to support normal physiology, and how its disruption contributes to diseases.
