The broad aim of our laboratory is to understand cellular, molecular and signalling mechanisms underlying synaptic development and function. Using multidisciplinary approaches we are attempting to understand:

a) neuronal functions of Drosophila Chaperones using reverse genetics approaches.

b) how multi-domain membrane deforming proteins integrate synaptic signalling, membrane dynamics and cytoskeletal remodelling.

c) how Clathrin-dependent endocytosis regulates synaptic plasticity and neuronal signalling.
