"Ankyrins: Molecular Keys to Understanding How Cells Establish Specialized Membrane Domains"

Dr. Bennett is an HHMI Investigator and James B. Duke Professor of Cell Biology, Biochemistry, and Neurobiology at Duke University.  His research studies how our cells localize ion transporters and other membrane proteins to sites that optimize their physiological efficiency.  His lab is currently focusing on newly discovered ankyrin-dependent pathways responsible for establishing specialized membrane domains in diverse cells, ranging from neurons to epithelial cells.
