Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Amrita Khakurel's research investigates the function of the Golgi-associated retrograde protein (GARP) complex in cellular physiology. Her work focuses on the GARP complex's role in maintaining the Golgi glycosylation machinery and its impact on vesicle transport, sorting, and secretion. Recent publications by Khakurel detail how GARP dysfunction can lead to COPI displacement, depletion of Golgi v-SNAREs, and disruptions in calcium homeostasis. She has also explored the generation and analysis of specific cell lines to study GARP's effects, including its impact on O-glycosylation. Khakurel collaborates with Vladimir Lupashin and Irina D. Pokrovskaya at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, as well as Tetyana Kudlyk at the National Center for Toxicological Research. Her scholarship metrics include an h-index of 7, with 18 total publications and 178 total citations.
