    • Dr.  Alf Håkon Lystad

      • 1. Centre for Cancer Cell Reprogramming, Faculty of Medicine, University of Oslo, Oslo, Norway.
      • 2. Department of Molecular Cell Biology, Institute for Cancer Research, Oslo University Hospital, Oslo, Norway.

      Research Interests: My group studies the molecular mechanisms of autophagy and CASM, with a particular focus on how ATG8-specific E3-like complexes are targeted to damaged or remodeling intracellular membrane compartments. A second major theme is defining the downstream consequences of CASM and how these outputs influence endolysosomal homeostasis. To address these questions, we develop complementary in cellulo and in vitro approaches to dissect these pathways at molecular resolution.
