Interview in Developmental Cell 2015
"Meet the Author David Mick: Proteomics of Primary Cilia by Proximity Labeling."
Using the APEX-based proximity labeling technique, I want to assess how the loss of function of key ciliary proteins affects the ciliary proteome to better understand the molecular pathogenesis of ciliopathies.
I am currently working with various biochemical methods to understand the function and transport of kinases and phosphatases in the primary cilium as well as their influence on the ciliary proteome and signalling pathways.
My aim is to study the role of primary cilia in differentiation processes of various cell types. I am especially interested in myogenesis and adipogenesis, as well as disease related cystogenesis.
