NIH funded research project studying the role of MMP2 in synaptic homeostasis in Drosophila using various imaging and biochemical techniques.
Description
This is a research project funded by NIH, focusing on the role of MMP2 in synaptic homeostasis in Drosophila. The project involves electrophysiology, immunohistochemistry, biochemistry, confocal calcium imaging, and super-resolution imaging techniques. The project aims to elucidate the cellular mechanisms of MMP2 in modulating presynaptic calcium influx and calcium channel localization during PHP.
