My Research Activities
I am a postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Molecular Medicine, University of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia. My research focuses on using live cell imaging to understand how receptor trafficking is regulated and contributes to human diseases and treatments. My work involves investigating how psychedelics act on serotonin receptors at a cellular level, how receptor movement around the cell regulates signalling, and how lipoproteins are cleared from circulation by endocytic processes.
