Projektbeschreibung der*des Nominierenden
| Professor Mayorga has been an important protagonist in the development of the Cell Biology field of Intracellular Trafficking. He has been particularly successful in developing in vitro assays that reconstitute specific membrane fusion events. These model systems have been very useful to understand several aspects of the molecular machinery participating in endocytosis and pahgocytosis. In the last few years, his laboratory has worldwide leaded the characterization of the membrane fusion event occurring during the acrosomal exocytosis in sperm cells. |
