IndiaBioscience, along with Saurabh Pradhan, IMBA, Vienna, Austria and Deepa Subramanyam, NCCS, Pune, have come together to co-host ​‘Big Questions, Innovative Approaches’ a series of science talks for PhD researchers, Postdoctoral Fellows and early-career researchers in India. 

As part of ​‘Big Questions, Innovative Approaches’, international researchers will share their professional journeys and research findings with the broad science community in India.

Guests: The invited scientists will be biologists working on big and broad questions in the field, and doing so with unconventional or cutting-edge approaches. The scientists will also discuss their scientific journey, including opportunities and challenges, that led them to ask and answer these questions. 

Participants: While intended for PhD students, Postdoctoral Fellows and early-career researchers, the online webinars will be open to all (including faculty, scientists and scientific/​technical staff).

Genetic diversity of clathrin subunits enables tissue-specific membrane traffic

Time: 16:00 — 17:00 IST 

Frances M. Brodsky

Professor, Research Department of Structural and Molecular Biology, Division of Biosciences, University College London

Frances Brodsky is a Professor in the Division of Biosciences at the University College London. She is a global leader in the field of clathrin biology and her group has made significant contributions to our current knowledge of clathrin biochemistry, protein structure, and self-assembly. Prof. Brodsky’s group has also defined how clathrin-mediated pathways influence receptor signalling, the immune response and the cell cycle. Her group discovered the function of a second human isoform of clathrin heavy chain (CHC22) in the GLUT4 transport pathway, an aspect of human glucose metabolism relevant to type 2 diabetes. Research in her laboratory continues to investigate novel and conventional clathrin functions that are important for human health.
