Welcome to the Cuervo Lab!
We are a cell biology lab interested in how proteins are targeted to lysosomes (AUTOPHAGY)
for their degradation and why this process is impaired during aging and age-related disorders..
PhD and MD/PhD students are welcome to rotate in our lab!!!
You will get:
 |
Experience in techniques in cell-biology, molecular biology and biochemistry (organelle isolation, confocal immunofluorescence, electron microscopy, tissue culture, PCR, DNA isolation and handling, point directed mutagenesis, northern blot, electrophoresis, chromatography, protein expression and purification..... |
|
Background in intracellular protein trafficking, protein degradation, biology of aging, lysosomal storage diseases, neurodegenerative diseases.... |
