Welcome !
We are a basic research laboratory in the department of Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology (MCDB) at the University of Colorado - Boulder (CU). Our research aims to understand the molecular mechanisms of membrane trafficking in the endocytic pathway of eukaryotic cells. We are investigating this issue using the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae as a model system.
Our research
We are currently focused on the mechanism of protein sorting via the multivesicular body (MVB) pathway. The process of MVB sorting is conserved between yeast and humans and is mediated by the endosomal sorting complexes required for transport (ESCRTs). Click here for a quick read about the MVB pathway.
