Cell Biology and Metabolism Program

Head: Juan Bonifacino

This Laboratory carries out research in the areas of cell, molecular, and receptor biology. Areas of interest include: post-transcriptional gene regulation (using the molecular mechanisms of iron metabolism as a model); the biology of intracellular organelles and membrane traffic; characterization of tumor suppressor genes and their products; the genetic response to environmental stress; and the biology of receptors central to the immune system. The Cell Biology and Metabolism Branch is a highly interactive environment in which the many complementary projects encourage both a wide range of perspectives as well as a broad diversity of technologies.
