Professor Robert Parton    Nhmrc Research Fellow

	Biography

Our research focuses on the cell surface and, in particular, on the structure and function of caveolae. Caveolae are small pits in the plasma membrane which have been linked to tumour formation and muscular dystrophy. We are investigating the role of caveolae in cell physiology and their exploitation by pathogens.

Professor Robert Parton is group leader for Cell Surface in Health and Disease research at the IMB.
