Meuillet, Emmanuelle: Dr. Meuillet's laboratory research interests lie in the general area of modulation of the activity of tyrosine kinases. Over the past eight years, Dr. Meuillet's work has specifically focused on understanding the molecular mechanisms and biological roles of membrane components such as phospholipids and glycosphingolipids, in receptor signaling pathways and how changes in lipid composition can affect downstream transduction signals from the plasma membrane to the nucleus. The recent discovery of lipid rafts and caveolae membrane domains has proven to be important in lipid associated disorders.
