Frances M Brodsky, B.A., D. Phil.
Professor

Research Interests:
REGULATION AND FUNCTION OF CLATHRIN-MEDIATED MEMBRANE TRAFFIC

Summary:
Critical pathways of human nutrition are controlled by clathrin proteins that are present inside cells. Clathrins control uptake of cholesterol from the bloodstream and uptake of glucose into skeletal muscle, processes that influence heart disease and diabetes. The laboratory focuses on understanding molecular aspects of clathrin function for insight into cardiovascular disease.
