Prof. Jaakko Saraste transitions to Emeritus and associate of
the Arnesen lab

December 9, 2022

The Arnesen lab is pleased to keep the collaboration with Prof. Jaakko Saraste who recently transitioned to Emeritus at UiB.

The Saraste group has made important contributions to our understanding of the functional organisation of the intermediate compartment (IC), a membrane system operating in the early secretory pathway between the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and the Golgi complex.

Read more about Jaakko’s research and his publications.

This work challenges the traditional view that CoV exit from their host cells occurs via the constitutive secretory route.
