Research Questions
One of the key areas we will be exploring more will be the local crosstalk of different endocytic pathways - clathrin mediated, caveolae etc AND understanding mechanical and molecular remodelling on the membrane by cell stretching. Image analysis (MATLAB and Python-based) with emphasis on customized codes are important for these studies.
