OverviewAI-generated summary

Zinia D’Souza's research focuses on the molecular mechanisms governing Golgi apparatus function, particularly the role of protein trafficking machinery in glycosylation. Her work investigates the function of key protein complexes, such as the COG complex and the GARP complex, in maintaining Golgi homeostasis. D’Souza's publications detail how the dysregulation or inactivation of these complexes impacts intra-Golgi recycling, COPI machinery stability, and the localization of essential proteins like v-SNAREs and calcium homeostasis proteins. She has co-authored 13 publications, accumulating over 300 citations and an h-index of 9. Her research network includes frequent collaborations with Vladimir Lupashin, Irina D. Pokrovskaya, Farhana Taher Sumya, and Amrita Khakurel, all based at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences.
