Research Interests:  The Nuclear Envelope (NE) surrounding the nucleus is composed of an inner nuclear membrane (INM) and outer nuclear membrane (ONM). The Nuclear Pore Complex (NPC) provides a pathway through which macromolecules and proteins may pass from the ONM to the INM or vis versa. This passage takes place through either the central channel or peripheral channel of the NPC. My focus is on the Nuclear Envelope Transmempraine proteins (NETs) which stud the Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER), ONM and INM. Particlularly, I am interested in the method by which these proteins translocate from the ONM to INM.

The mechanism of NETs transport across the NE remains a topic of discussion among researchers. To interrogate this question, our lab makes use of single-molecule microscopy techniques to directly image and measure the pathway, dynamics, and direction of protein transport across the NE.
