  • Research:
    Biology of the primary cilium

    We study the primary cilium, a once-obscure cellular organelle recently "re-discovered" for its role in a number of signaling pathways. Defects in cilium biogenesis lead to a variety of hereditary disorders characterized by retinal degeneration, kidney cysts and obesity. Our goal is to characterize these disorders at the molecular and cellular levels to gain insight into the basic mechanisms of primary cilium biogenesis and to discover novel ciliary signaling pathways.

Bardet-Biedl Syndrome (BBS) patients suffer from retinal degeneration, kidney cysts, obesity and polydactyly. Recently, we discovered that a complex of BBS proteins (which we named the BBSome) coordinates vesicular transport to the primary cilium.
