Collaboration and shared interests
We collaborate with groups that are interested in membrane trafficking, macropinocytosis, lipid signalling, host–pathogen interactions, cancer cell biology, and advanced imaging. Collaborations typically start from either (i) a defined mechanistic question or (ii) a shared assay/imaging need with a clear readout.
What we can contribute
Mechanistic expertise in vesicle identity transitions (PIPs/Rabs) and macropinocytosis
Quantitative live-cell imaging readouts of trafficking dynamics
VLP uptake assays for entry mechanisms
Functional genetics approaches (including CRISPR screening logic and follow-up validation)

How to propose a collaboration
Send a short message with (1) your question, (2) model system, (3) what you can measure now, and (4) what you want to measure next. If you already have pilot data, include one figure.
