点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

This research will provide a better understanding of the secretory pathway of all eukaryotic cells, a process of broad biological and biomedical significance. It will also contribute to a better understanding of how a cell works, including how cell membranes are organization, how the transport processes of the cell are regulated and how proteins are targeted to their intracellular destination. Further, this work will utilize the frontier technology of RNA interference as a genetic tool to investigate functions of genes. By training post-graduate students and post-doctoral staff, it will contribute to the expertise of cell biology in Australia. International collaborations will enhance connections with overseas researchers.
