Overview
Context of Regulation and mechanics in polarity at University of Dundee
Membranes and their protein organization are a frontier in our understanding of cell biology. We focus on polarized trafficking as a model to uncover fundamental mechanisms in the organization of structures at membranes.
Because signalling in polarized trafficking is affected in metastasis of cancer, we position our research for the broadest impact in forming a foundation for drug discovery. We take a reconstitution and synthetic biology approach in combination with the powerful tools available for microscopy.
You will join a cohort of students in a comprehensive induction programme, later participating in a wide range of other training activities, including student-led symposia and retreats. You will also have the opportunity to attend annual symposium and meetings as their research and training progresses.
