Dr Pucadyil works on vesicular transport, a process by which cells transport proteins in little vesicles bound by membranes. Along with his team of graduate and undergraduate students, Dr Pucadyil uses reconstitution approaches to study the mechanism that cells might be using for vesicles to break away from parent membranes thereby allowing packaging and transport of cellular materials. You can learn more about his work here.
