Cells are the fundamental unit of life. Our aim is to understand cell function in the context of membrane and cytoskeleton dynamics.
Our work addressed three overlapping areas: secretory pathway function, formation and function or primary cilia, and the production and maintenance of the extracellular matrix.
Unfortunately, David has had to retire through ill health. Chrissy Hammond is now the PI for remaining projects run by:
Nicola Stevenson (our sLoLa project with Manchester on Golgi function and ECM production and maintenance)
Lizzie Lawrence (the role of Mia3 in ER export in zebrafish and mammalian cells)
George Thompson (PhD student closely linked to Nikki’s work and the wider sLoLa).
