Research Interest
Autophagy is an evolutionarily conserved process by which cytoplasmic components including toxic proteins and damaged organelles are degraded via the lysosome. They are interested in understanding the role of autophagy in animal development and in diseases such as cancer and neurodegeneration. They use the fruitfly, Drosophila melanogaster, as a model system to study autophagy in various cell types and in distinct cellular contexts. They utilize classical as well as sophisticated genetic tools that are readily available in Drosophila and in addition, routinely use biochemical and molecular cell biological techniques in our research studies.
