Rajesh Ghai The 42nd Lorne Conference on Protein Structure and Function 2017

Rajesh Ghai

After completing my PhD in the lab of Assoc. Prof. Brett Collins in 2013, I was invited by Prof. Rob Yang to work with him at the University of New South Wales, Sydney. Here as part of a collaboration, I underwent postdoctoral training with Prof. Daniela Stock investigating how membrane proteins control lipid trafficking in the cell. In 2016, I returned to the Institute for Molecular Bioscience, University of Queensland as a Fellow of the NHMRC-ARC Dementia Research Development scheme. I was also awarded the highly prestigious ARC DECRA that I relinquished in favour of an NHMRC-ARC Dementia Research Development Fellowship that is now supporting my research. My research explores the basic mechanisms of intracellular vesicular transport, with a major focus on understanding how protein turnover in neurons causes neurodegenerative phenotypes.
