Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Farhana Taher Sumya's research focuses on the molecular mechanisms underlying protein transport and glycosylation within the Golgi apparatus. Her work investigates the COG complex, a multi-subunit tethering factor crucial for intra-Golgi vesicle trafficking. Sumya has studied the impact of COG complex inactivation on Golgi function and the nature of intra-Golgi recycling vesicles. Her research also explores congenital disorders of glycosylation (CDG), specifically CDG-II diseases, and has involved the development and characterization of cellular models for these conditions. She has published on the role of the COG complex in glycosylation and has investigated the effects of mutations in COG subunits, such as COG3, on vesicular trafficking and disease pathogenesis. Sumya's publications also include proteomic characterization of intra-Golgi trafficking intermediates and methods for rapid COG depletion in mammalian cells. She has a history of collaboration with researchers at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including Vladimir Lupashin and Irina D. Pokrovskaya.
