Intracellular membrane traffic
A key aspect of fungi is their invasiveness, associated with rapid apical extension. By combining genetic approaches with multidimensional microscopy, we are studying the organization of the Golgi and endosomal systems in the context of polarized traffic, focusing on membrane domain-organising Rab GTPases and their effectors.
