"You need something to receive signals, too." The team chose to study glia, dendrites, and cilia in the nematode C. elegans, a model organism cherished by basic researchers for its straightforward ...

Through a series of several more experiments, the team discovered that the BBSome plays a role in light sensation independent of its role in the cilia. In one scenario, they mutated C. elegans to ...

Here, we report a cilia-independent function of BBSome. To identify genes that regulate the C. elegans photoreceptor protein LITE-1 in ciliated ASH photosensory neurons, we performed a genetic ...

elegans, mammalian cells and yeast. Various research projects being pursued in our lab are summarised below. We use a number of bioinformatic, genomic and genetic strategies to uncover the components ...

Dopamine, a powerful brain chemical and neurotransmitter, is a key regulator of many important functions such as attention, ...
