Membrane and Receptor Biology

Research Interest

Membrane and Receptor Biology

The major research interest of our group is centered on membrane and receptor biology using a variety  of  biophysical,  biochemical  and  cell biological approaches.  Fluorescence-based spectroscopic and microscopic approaches are extensively used in our laboratory.
