The Prinz lab studies organelle biogenesis and intracellular lipid trafficking and homeostasis. There are several related questions we are working to answer:
What is the mechanism and function of lipid exchange at membrane contacts sites?
How do ER-subdomains form and how do they contribute to lipid metabolism and organelle biogenesis?
How are lipid droplets and lipoproteins, such as VLDL produced, in the ER?
