Research project funded by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke to investigate the role of a ciliary protein in neural development and synapse formation, employing advanced genetic and imaging techniques.
Description
The project focuses on synapse formation and neurodevelopmental disorders. It uses advanced techniques such as super resolution microscopy and proteomics, and involves C. elegans as a model organism. The research aims to uncover novel molecular mechanisms involved in synapse formation, particularly as it pertains to neurological disorders, using genetics, super resolution microscopy, and in-vivo unbiased proteomics.
