Mechanisms of EGF receptor endocytosis

Description of projects available to graduate students:
This project involves analysis of the molecular mechanisms of epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor endocytosis and intracellular sorting in cancer cells.

Techniques graduate student will learn:
High-resolution fluorescence micrscopy, FRET, biochemical measurements of endocytosis rates, RNA interference, high-throughput screening, general biochemical and cell biology techniques.
