This project develops optical switches to control protein and cell activity using light, enabling non-invasive studies of secretion, exocytosis, and endocytosis. By employing photoswitchable channels and inhibitors, it aims to enhance our understanding of vesicle dynamics and receptor activation in biological systems.
Optical switches are photoisomerizable compounds that allow to remotely controlling the activity of proteins, cells and entire organisms with light.
These tools are revolutionizing research in biology with their high selectivity and spatiotemporal resolution.
Here we propose to develop and apply optical switches to investigate the fundamental processes of secretion, exocytosis and endocytosis, in a way that is non-invasive, acute, and orthogonal to pharmacological and electrophysiological techni…
