Lipid and Protein Signaling Pathways Involved in Neurological Disorders

Many molecular pathways that are linked to disease in humans are also found in simpler organisms, like yeast. The Conibear lab studies molecular pathways in yeast in order to gain more control over the biological processes involved, since yeast are much easier to work with than humans or mice. In combination with genomic technologies, yeast is a powerful tool for discovery.
