Funded Activity Summary

Mechanisms by which Beclin1 regulates intestinal homeostasis. This project aims to investigate if Beclin1, a protein which has an important and well-accepted role in promoting cell survival through the program of autophagy, has an alternate job mediating trafficking within a cell. Using novel mouse models and innovative techniques, the project aims to demonstrate the physiological importance of this alternate role for Beclin1. Expected outcomes include enhancing Australia's international research standing, and providing research training for young scientists. Benefits include generation of new knowledge and a rethink of the basis for normal development and diseases where Beclin1 has been implicated.
