BMBDG PhD Exit Seminar – Tamiza Nanji
“Characterizing the assembly and molecular interactions of the fission yeast Atg1 autophagy regulatory complex”, by Tamiza Nanji, PhD Candidate, Yip Lab. Abstract: Macroautophagy, often referred to as autophagy, is a non-selective degradation mechanism used by eukaryotic cells to recycle cytoplasmic material and maintain homeostasis. Upregulated under starvation to generate molecular building blocks for ongoing cellular […]
