Proteomics in ciliary diseases
Our ongoing studies with the IFT-A complex and its interacting partners suggest that this conserved complex interacts with a set of novel effectors in mammalian cells including Tulp3. Read More

Functional proteomics
An important aspect of discovering the functionalities of proteins is in trying to understand how they interact with each other, in order to determine their 'social behavior.' Read More
