Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Zinia D’Souza's research focuses on the molecular mechanisms governing Golgi apparatus function, particularly in relation to protein glycosylation and vesicular transport. Her work has investigated the role of specific protein complexes, such as the COG complex and the GARP complex, in maintaining Golgi physiology. D'Souza has examined how the dysfunction of these complexes can lead to disruptions in protein modification, including glycosylation, and impact cellular homeostasis, such as calcium regulation. Her publications also explore the flexibility of SNARE proteins, like Syntaxin-5, in mediating vesicle fusion and supporting Golgi trafficking. D'Souza collaborates extensively with researchers at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including Vladimir Lupashin and Irina D. Pokrovskaya, with whom she has co-authored multiple publications. Her scholarly output includes 13 publications with a total of 321 citations and an h-index of 9.
