Summary
This multi-disciplinary project combines cutting-edge molecular cell biology, neurobiological, and biochemical (lipid analysis) approaches to reveal novel links between organelle membrane proteins, lipid metabolism, and neurodegenerative disorders. It will unveil new basic biological and biomedical principles, the properties and functions of novel lipid-binding proteins, and new avenues to improve lipid uptake for the treatment of neurodegenerative disorders.
