His research group studies the evolution and diversity of the eukaryotic membrane-trafficking system, from origins to potential disease therapeutics. In this interview, Joel shares some perspectives on gaining a balanced view of comparative cell biology and the importance of a constructive peer review process.http://link.springer.com/article/10.1186/s12915-018-0586-4EvolutionGenomicsEukaryotesMembrane-traffickingGolgiParasitism
