Structural biology of cell surface assemblies

We investigate the molecular mechanisms that underpin cell-cell communication. The challenge is to link extracellular recognition with intracellular signalling and to address not just isolated molecules but rather the interplay of cell surface receptors relevant to function in the cell. Current projects include structure/function analyses of signalling systems that direct the wiring of our nervous system, and modulators of Wnt signalling.
