Intracellular Trafficking and Organelle Function

Investigators which comprise the Intracellular Trafficking and Organelle Function subgroup are elucidating the mechanisms by which the functional attributes of the organelles of the endomembrane system are established, maintained, and regulated. A major theme of the group is intracellular protein and lipid sorting, although other important areas of organelle cell biology, including organelle motility, ion transport, and the roles of intracellular organelles in human disease are also well represented. Interactions within the group are fostered through numerous collaborations, journal clubs, and combined group meetings. The overall goal is to enhance the quality and impact of organelle-based cell biology at Penn, as well as provide more focused education and training for students and postdoctoral fellows.
