Marchant laboratory
Our laboratory is interested in the application
of cellular imaging technologies to study how cells behave in response to
stimulation. In particular, we focus on the regulation of cell activity
by Ca2+ signals evoked by the second messenger inositol trisphosphate. Such
cytoplasmic Ca2+ signals have a complex spatial and organisation, regulating
a variety of cellular activities in a manner keyed to the size, duration
and location of the Ca2+ signal. We are interested in how these signals
are generated by hormones and neurotransmitters and how these signals regulate
different processes inside the cell.
