Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Amrita Khakurel's research focuses on the physiological roles of the Golgi apparatus, particularly the Golgi-associated retrograde protein (GARP) complex. Her work investigates how this complex is essential for maintaining the Golgi's glycosylation machinery, a critical process for protein modification and function. Khakurel has published findings detailing how GARP dysfunction leads to disruptions in vesicle transport, affecting protein sorting, secretion, and O-glycosylation. Her studies have also explored the consequences of GARP depletion, including COPI displacement and depletion of Golgi v-SNAREs and calcium homeostasis proteins. She has contributed to the generation and analysis of cell lines for studying these cellular processes. Khakurel's research network includes collaborators such as Vladimir Lupashin and Irina D. Pokrovskaya from the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, with whom she has co-authored multiple publications.
