Description
Considering the structural diversity of the ER, we aim to establish a quantitative relationship between the complex morphology and protein sorting functions of the ER. We are specifically interested in understanding how proteins move as a function of the ER morphological constraints. In collaboration with the Koslover lab at the University of California San Diego, we aim to use our images to build a quantitative mathematical model describing protein distribution in the ER.
