The Wilkinson’s lab is interested in studying the role of autophagy in tissue homeostasis and cancer. As part of this team, I am focused on understanding the physiological functions of ER-phagy (degradation of the endoplasmic reticulum via autophagy) beyond ER remodelling in different systems. We use protein-protein interaction screens, imaging techniques and transgenic models to unpick the molecular events set in train by autophagy within different contexts.
