I am a passionate biologist, mostly interested in cell and developmental biology with emphasis on their interface. I am PhD student in Laboratory of cell morphogenesis. We study morphogenesis and polarity of plant cells, mainly in context of exocytosis, actin cytoskeleton dynamics, phospholipase signalling and Rab GTPases - the regulators of organelle identity. At the core of our interest lies exocyst - eight subunit protein complex regulating exocytosis and participating in cytokinesis and autophagy. Projects I am/was involved in address autophagy, unraveling molecular pathways driving exocytosis to lateral polar domains of plant cell, studying exocytosis with high end fluorescent microscopy and membrane microdomains in plant cells with respect to exocytosis.
