Research summary
AI-generated

This researcher studies how proteins fold, move within cells, and transmit signals, with particular attention to membrane proteins involved in vision and cellular transport. Work includes examining how mutations linked to the eye disease retinitis pigmentosa disrupt the trafficking of rhodopsin (a light-sensing protein), as well as how scaffold proteins like IQGAP coordinate cellular signaling. The research sits at the intersection of biochemistry, cell biology, and neuroscience.
